630. Misbranding of Zaleo-Septie. U. S. v. Sylvia Zalk (Zateo Co.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $20. (F. D. C. No. 4143. Sample Nos. 8286-E, 75133-D.) This product did not possess the antiseptic properties claimed for it. On July 28, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota filed an information against Sylvia Zalk, trading as the Zalco Co.' at St. Paul, Minn., alleging shipment on or about February 1 and September 25, 1940, from the State of Minnesota into the State of North Dakota, of quantities of Zaleo- Septic that was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Zalco-Septic (Antiseptic Solution)." Analysis showed that the article consisted essentially of water, alcohol, and small proportions of menthol, eucalyptol, thymol, methyl salicylate, and boric acid. .Bacteriological examination showed that it was not antiseptic. The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements, "Zalco-Septic (Antiseptic Solution) * * * Nasal Douche: Add one part of Zalco-Septic to 4 or 5 parts of warm water * * * Feminine Hygiene: Add 1 part of Zalco-Septic to 10 parts of warm water," borne on the bottle label, were false and misleading since they represented that when used in the dilutions reeom- mended, it was an antiseptic within the meaning of the law; whereas it was not an antiseptic within such meaning, and it did not purport to be and was not represented as an antiseptic for inhibitory use as a wet dressing, ointment, dust- ing powder, or such other use as involves prolonged contact with the body. On November 4, 1941, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant?( and the court imposed a fine of $20. -?!
