1165. Adulteration and misbranding of sulfanilamide capsules.    U. S. v. Peerless
Serum Go. Plea of guilty. Fine. $100 and costs. (F. D. C. No. 10615.
Sample No. 5687-F.)
On January 24, 1944, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas
filed an information against the Peerless Serum Co., a corporation, Kansas City,
Kans., alleging shipment of a quantity of sulfanilamide capsules from the State of
Kansas into the State of Arkansas on or about April 30, 1943.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its strength differed from
that which it purported and was represented to possess since it was represented
to contain 240 grains of sulfanilamide per capsule, whereas it contained 306.17
grains of sulfanilamide per capsule.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on its label, "Sulfanila-
mide   *    *   *   240 grs.," was false and misleading.
On January 31, 1944, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court
imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
