1472. Adulteration   of triple  distilled water.    U.  S.  v.  270 Ampuls  and  1,990
Ampuls of Triple Distilled Water. Default decree of condemnation and
destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 14010.   Sample No. 64073-F.)
On or about October 12, 1944, the United States attorney for the Northern Dis-
trict of Georgia filed a libel against 270 5-cc. ampuls and 1,990 10-ce. ampuls
of triple distilled water at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped
on or about August 10, 1944, by the American Medical Specialties Co., Inc., from
New York, N. Y.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be and was
represented as 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 official standard since the compendium provides that water for
injection is a clear liquid, whereas the article was not a clear liquid but contained
suspended material.
On March 16, 1945, no claimant having appeared,, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
