1966. Adulteration and misbranding of Clover Dairy Ointment. U. S. v. 33 Cans of Clover Dairy Ointment. Default decree of condemnation and destruc- tion. (F. D. C. No. 19932. Sample No. 50977-H.) LIBEL FILED : May 20, 1946, Western District of Wisconsin. ALLEGED SHIPMENT : Between the approximate dates of January 14 and March 7, 1946, by the Perfection Manufacturing Corporation, from Minneapolis, Minn. PRODUCT : 33 cans of Clover Dairy Ointment at Catawba, Wis. Analysis showed that the product consisted essentially of petroleum oil, zinc oxide, methyl salicy- late, oil of sassafras, lanolin, and a red dye. NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 501 (a) (4), the article contained, for purposes of coloring only, a coal-tar color other than one from a batch that had been certified in accordance with the regulations. Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the following statements on the label of the product were false and misleading: "For the treatment of swollen, caked udders and an aid in healing sore, * * * teats and sores and bruises. * * * In cases of swollen or caked udders use generously * * * Helps keep teats and udders in a soft, healthy, producing condition." These statements repre- sented and suggested that the article possessed healing properties; that it would be effective in the treatment of swollen and caked udders and all causes of sore teats and sores; that it would be effective in the treatment of bruises; and that it would keep the teats and udders in a soft, healthy producing con- dition. The article did not possess healing properties, and it would not be effective for the purposes claimed. Misbranding, Section 502 (b) (2), the article failed to bear a label con- taining an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents; and, Section 502 (e) (2), the label failed to bear the common or usual name of each active ingredient of the product. DISPOSITION : August 1, 1946. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con- demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
