1299. Misbranding of Magic Fire Liniment.     U.  S. v.  George Foster, Inc., and
George Foster. Pleas of guilty. Fines: $100 against corporate de-
fendant, $500 against individual defendant. (F. D. C. No. 10589. Sample
No. 8692-F.)
On December 27,1943, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota
filed an information against George Foster, Inc., St. Paul, Minn., and George
Foster, president of the corporation, alleging shipment from the State of Minne-
sota into the State of Wisconsin, on or about March 12, 1943, of a quantity of the
above-named product. The article was labeled in part: (Bottles) "Magic Fire
Red Hot Wonder Liniment."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that it was not sold under a name
recognized in an official compendium, and it was fabricated from two or more
ingredients and its label did not bear the common or usual name of each active
ingredient.
It was also alleged in the information that another article, Egg-O-Save, was
misbranded under the provisions of the law applicable to foods, as reported in the
notices of judgment on foods.
On February 19, 1944, pleas of guilty having been entered by and on behalf of
the defendants, the court imposed a fine of $100 against the corporation and a fine
of $500 against the individual.
