768. Adulteration of powdered borax. U. S. v. 1 Barrel and 2 Barrels of Pow dered Borax. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. Nos. 7495, 7496. Sample Nos. 59785-B, 87584-E.) Samples taken from this product were found to contain 3.4, 3.8, and 3.9 parts, respectively, of arsenic trioxide in each 100,000 parts of borax; whereas the U. S. Pharmacopoeia provides that it should contain not more than 1 part of arsenic trioxide per 100,000 parts. On May 20, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland filed libels against 3 barrels, each containing 300 pounds of powdered borax at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- merce on or about February 21, 1942, by the American Potash & Chemical Cor- poration from Trona, Calif.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it purported to be a drug the name of which is recognized in the U. S. Pharma- copoeia but its purity fell below the standard set forth in that compendium and its difference in purity from such standard was not stated on its label. On June 24, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
