915. Adulteration of Athlete's Isopropyl Alcohol Compound. V. S. v. The Spark'l
Paulette Co., Inc. Plea of guilty. Fine, $1,000. (F. D. C. No. 7677. Sam-
ple No. 77201-E.)
On April 3, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New
York filed an information against the Spark'l Paulette Co., Inc., Brooklyn, N. Y.,
alleging shipment on or about April 20, 1942, from the State of New York into
the State of Pennsylvania of a quantity of Athlete's Isopropyl Alcohol Compound
which was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in
part of a filthy substance by reason of the presence therein of rodent hairs, human
hairs, insect larvae, metal fragments, rust, and miscellaneous dirt. It was al-
leged to be adulterated further in that it had been prepared and packed under
insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On April 22, 1943, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant and
the court imposed a fine of $1,000.
