1147. Misbranding of Kon-Trold Nicotine.    V. S. v. 25 Cartons and 17 Cartons
of Kon-Trold Nicotine.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 10521.    Sample Nos. 12294-F, 12295-F.)
On September 2, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon
filed a libel against 25 20-ounce cartons and 17 bounce cartons of Kon-Trold
Nicotine at Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped on or
about October 19, 1942, and July 2, 1943, from Burbank, Calif., by the Kon-Trold
Products Co.; and charging that it was misbranded.
Analysis disclosed that the article was a gray, largely insoluble powder con-
taining nicotine.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements appearing on
its label, "For the control of poultry Round Worms * * * For Round Worm
elimination," were false and misleading in that, while a product of this character
may have value when used as directed on the label for expelling large roundworms,
it would not be effective against all species of roundworms which infest poultry.
On November 1,1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
