ages of Mrs. Price's Special Prepared Boric Acid. Default decree of con-
demnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 8974.    Sample No. 22616-F.)
On December 11, 1942, the United States attorney for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania filed a libel against the above-named product at Harrisburg, Pa.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
September 16, 1942, by Mrs. W. T. Price under the designation Price Compound
Co., from Minneapolis, Minn.; and charging that it was misbranded in that it
was sold under a name recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia, and
purported to be and was represented as an antiseptic, and its labeling failed to
bear adequate directions for use.
The article was also alleged to be misbranded under the provisions of the act
applicable to foods, reported in F. N. J. No. 4489.
On February 12, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
