1318. Adulteration of sodium iodide ampuls.   U. S. v. 3 Boxes, each containing 25 ampuls,
10 cc. size, of Sodium Iodide.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 12431.   Sample No. 53717-F.)
On May 24, 1944, the United States attorney for the Southern District
of California filed a libel against the above-mentioned product at Los Angeles,
Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about September 29,
1943, by the Columbus Pharmacal Co., from Columbus, Ohio; and charging
that it was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be and
was represented as ampuls of sodium iodide, a drug the name of which is
recognized in the National Formulary, an official compendium, but its quality
and purity fell below the official standard since the article was not free from
undissolved material.
On June 13, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
