899. Misbranding of Pup-Up Tablets.    IT. S. v. 2%  Gross Packages of Pup-Up
Tablets.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
4836.   Sample No. 47&81-E.)
On June 4, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois filed a libel against the above-named product at Chicago, 111., alleging that
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 28, 1941,
by Arner Co. from Buffalo, N. Y.; and charging that it was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of
sodium phenobarbital, ephedrine hydrochloride, ephedrine sulfate, starch, and
milk sugar.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that statements in the labeling
which represented that it was an effective and appropriate treatment and
prophylactic for distemper in dogs were false and misleading since it would not
be an effective and appropriate treatment for such condition.
On July 17,1942, the claimant having withdrawn its claim and answer, judgment
of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
