993. Misbranding of Formula "IT." TJ. S. v. 73    6-Ounce Bottles and 18    12-0unce
Bottles of Formula "IT."   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 8680.    Sample No. 18765-F.)
Examination showed that this product consisted essentially of water, carbolic
acid, sugars, thymol, sage, alum, borates, and aromatic substances.
On November 10, 1S42, the United States attorney for the Southern District
of New York filed a libel against the above-listed amounts of Formula "U" at
Newburg, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about September
5, 1942, by Universal Antiseptic & Research Laboratories, Inc., Bristol, Tenn.;
and charging that it was misbranded.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements and cuts appearing in
its labeling which represented and suggested that the article was an adequate
treatment for major burns, varicose ulcers, and infected gums were false and
misleading since the article was not an adequate treatment for such conditions.
On December 2, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
