1322. Adulteration of triple distilled water.   U. S. v. 369 Vials of Triple Distilled Water.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 12836.   Sample
No. 76298-F.)
On June 30, 1944, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of
New York filed a libel against 369 vials, each containing 100 cc, of the above-
named product at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped
on or about May 2, 1944, by the McCloskey Drug Co., Inc., from Jersey
City, N. J.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be water
for injection, a drug the name of which is recognized in the United States
Pharmacopoeia, an official compendium, but its quality and purity fell below
the standard set forth therein since the article was not clear and did not meet
the official test for pyrogens, but contained insoluble suspended material and
pyrogenic substances.
On July 27,1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
