695. Misbranding of Formula  A-l.     U.  S. v. 42 Gallon Cans  of Formula A-l.
Default decree of condemnation.    Product destroyed.     (F. D. C. No. 6314.
Sample No. 76456-E.)
On December 2, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of South Da-
kota filed a libel against the above-named product at Sioux Falls, S. Dak., alleging
that in the months of September and October, 1941, the article had been shipped
by Stanley S. Steinharter from Cincinnati, Ohio; and charging that it was mis-
branded.
Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of cre-
osote, sodium salts of cresols, a small proportion of sodium hydroxide, a trace of
an arsenic compound, extracts of plant drugs, sugar, and water.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that statements in the labeling representing
that it would be efficacious in the treatment of enteritis or dysentery due to
bacterial infection of swine, cattle, and poultry, were false and misleading since
it would not be efficacious for such purposes.
On January 5, 1942, no claimant.having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was subsequently destroyed.
