On May 19 and June 15, 1944, the United States attorney for the District of
New Jersey filed libels against 222? dozen packages of Kotalko at Jersey City,
N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped between the approximate dates
of January 28 and May 12, 1944, by the Kotalko Sales Co., from New York, N. T.
Examination showed that the article consisted essentially of an ointment con-
taining, among other ingredients, sulfur and a camphoraceous oil. The box con-
taining the ointment occupied approximately 40 percent of the volume of the
carton. The carton also contained circulars entitled "Kotalko Dictory," and
"Important Truth Revealed." The article was alleged to be misbranded in essen-
tially the same way that the product described in notices of judgment on drugs
and devices, No. 1337, was misbranded.
On November 6, 1944, Rose R. Scott, trading as the Kotalko Sales Co., claim-
ant, having admitted the allegations of the libels, and the cases having been
consolidated, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was or-
dered released under bond, conditioned that the circulars be destroyed and
replaced with new circulars correctly characterizing the product, under the super-
vision of the Food and Drug Administration.
