1190. Misbranding of Citra Nesia.     TJ. S. v. 800 Bottles of Citra Nesia.    Default
decree  of  condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.  10821.    Sample
No. 39468-F.)
On or about November 6, 1943, the United States attorney for, the District of
Arizona filed a libel against 800 bottles of Citra Nesia at Phoenix, Ariz., alleging
that the article, which had been consigned by the Monarch Products Co., Los
Angeles, Calif., had been shipped from pn or about June 5 to July 6, 1943; and
charging that it was misbranded.
Examination disclosed that the article consisted of an effervescent solution
containing sodium phosphate, sugar, and a citrate, and that it did not contain
citrate of magnesia.
The article was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that it was an imitation of
another drug, solution of magnesium citrate (citrate of magnesia) ; (2) in that
the statement "Contents 12 Fluid Ounces" appearing on its label, was false and
misleading as applied to the article, which was short volume; and (3) in that the
label did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of contents.
On March 28, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
