X045. Misbranding of  Nakamo  Bell Tablets.    U.  S. v. 5%  Dozen Packages of
Nakamo Bell Tablets.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 9503.    Sample No. 44607-F.)
On March 9, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey
filed a libel against 5? dozen packages of the above-named product at Newark,
N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about November 20, 1942,
from Orangeburg, N. Y., by the Hollings-Smith Co.; and charging that it was
misbranded.
Examination showed that the article was a tablet which consisted essentially
of 2 grains of ammonium chloride, 3 grains of sodium chloride, and 1 grain of
potassium chloride.
It was alleged to be misbranded because of false and misleading state-
ments in the labeling regarding the efficacy of the article in the treatment of
hay fever, sinus, asthma, and colds.
On June 21, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
