1468. Adulteration of boric acid.   U. S. v. 13 Dozen Cartons of Boric Acid.   De
fault decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 14106.   Sample
Nos. 69509-F, 69518-F.)
On October 23,1944, the United States attorney for the District of New Mexico
filed a libel against 13 dozen cartons of boric acid at Santa Fe, N. Mex., alleging
that the article had been shipped on or about May 11,1943, and March 1,1944, from
Oklahoma City, Okla., by the Scotch-Tone Co.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that alum had been substituted
in whole or in part for boric acid, which the article was represented to be.
On December 1,1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
