1613. Adulteration and misbranding of estrogenic material in oil.    U. S. v. 470
Ampuls of Estrogenic Material in Oil.   Default decree of condemnation
and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 15806.     Sample No. 4117-H.)
LIBEL FILED:   On or about April 14, 1945, District of New Jersey.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about March 9, 1945, from Philadelphia, Pa., by
the Associated Ross-Good Laboratories.
PRODUCT:   470 ampuls of estrogenic material in oil at Penns Grove, N. J.
LABEL, IN PAST : "Estrogenic Material in oil * * * This Estrogenic Material
contains-Estrodial, Estrone and other Estrogenic factors of Pregnant Mares
Urine."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 501 (d), an oil solution of estrogenic
material consisting almost entirely of estradiol had been substituted for an
oil solution of estrogenic material containing estradiol, estrone, and other
estrogenic factors as they occur in pregnant mares' urine.
Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the label statement, "This Estrogenic Material
contains-Estradiol, Estrone and other Estrogenic factors of Pregnant Mares
Urine," was misleading since it represented and implied that the estrogenic
material in the article was estrogenic material as it occurs naturally in
pregnant mares' urine, whereas it was not.
DISPOSITION: May 25, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con-
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
