ALLEGED SHIPMENT: Between the approximate dates of July 21, 1944, and
February 12, 1945, by the S. N. J. Products Co., from Los Angeles, Calif.
PRODUCT : 23 dozen packages of SNJ Sulfathlazole Nasal Jelly at Portland, Oreg.,
and 11? dozen packages of the same product at Brooklyn, N. Y. Examination
disclosed that the product possessed the composition stated upon its label.
LABEL, IN PART : "SNJ Sulfathiazole Nasal Jelly * * * Contains 3? Sodium
Sulfathiazole and ?o? Benzoate of Soda in a water soluble base."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 502 (a), certain statements on the
label and in the circular entitled, "Directions For Use," enclosed in the package,
were false and misleading since they represented and suggested that the article
would be an adequate treatment for the various disease conditions affecting
the nose and throat; and that it would be effective in the relief and prevention
of colds and sinus trouble. The article would not be an adequate treatment,
and it would not be effective for the conditions represented. The name of the
article was misleading since its labeling failed to reveal the fact, material in
the light of such name, that the article was not, because of its sulfathiazole
content, of value for disease conditions affecting the nose.'
DISPOSITION : May 24 and June 23, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judg-
ments of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
