548. Misbranding: of Tabknoll Three Bromides Effervescent. U. S. v. 10 Dozen
Bottles of Tabknoll Three Bromides Effervescent. Default decree of con-
demnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3918.    Sample No. 34893-E.)
This product contained ammonium, potassium, and sodium bromides, and
would be dangerous to health when used as recommended in the labeling. Its
labeling also failed to bear adequate directions for use and adequate warnings
against its use where such use might be dangerous to health.
On March 6, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey
filed a libel against 10 dozen bottles of Tabknoll Three Bromides Effervescent at
Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce
on or about January 6, 1941, by H. G. Knoll & Co., Inc., from New York, N. Y.;
and charging that it was misbranded.
The article was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that it was dangerous to
health when used in the dosage and with the frequency and duration pre-
scribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling, namely, (bottle and carton)
"Adults, one to two tablets, dissolved in half a glass of water; or as ordered
by the physician."; (2) in that its labeling failed to bear adequate directions
for use; and (3) in that its labeling failed to bear adequate warnings against
use where such use might be dangerous to health or against unsafe dosage or
duration of administration in such manner and form as are necessary for the
protection of users.
On September 4,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
