859. Misbranding of ?Q-T."    U. S. v. 35 Packages and 23 Packages of "Q-T."
Default decrees of condemnation.    Product ordered destroyed.    (F. D. C.
No. 8269.   Sample Nos. 21719-F, 21720-F.)
On August 31 and October 14, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western
District of Pennsylvania filed libels at Pittsburgh, Pa., against 23 4-ounce bottles,
and 35 2-ounce bottles of "Q-T," alleging that the article had been shipped in
interstate commerce on or about May 22 and July 4, 1942, by the Allied Phar-
macal Co. from Cleveland, Ohio. The article was labeled in part: "Q-T For Adults
Only, Contains Gold and Sodium Chloride and Ammonium Chloride. * * *
This preparation was formerly called Quits."
Examination of a sample of the article showed that it contained 0.16 grain of
gold and sodium chloride per fluid ounce, and 6.3 grains of ammonium chloride
per fluid ounce.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the labeling failed to bear
adequate directions for use since it did not state the conditions for which the
article was to be used.
On October 19, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation
were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
