PRODUCT : 52 cans of Knox-It and 6 cans of Flex-O Udder Ointment at Quincy,
111. Analyses showed that the Knox-It was a tan-colored powder composed
chiefly of plant material, iodoform, sulfur, copper salt, calcium salt, and
hexamethylenetetramine; and that the udder ointment was a red-colored oint-
ment composed chiefly of petrolatum, oil of mustard, oil of'turpentine, and
methyl salicylate.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 502 (a), certain statements on the
labels of the articles and upon an accompanying display card were false and
misleading since they represented and suggested that the articles would be
effective in the treatment and prevention of mastitis of cattle, thick milk,
bloody milk, garget, and minor disturbances of the mammary system; and that
they would be effective for healthy milk secretion and flow of blood to the udder.
The articles would not be effective for those purposes.
DISPOSITION: July 12, 1946. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con-
demnation was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
