COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTION FILED :    On 3-20-61, S. Dist. Calif., against Hamid
Bey, t/a Bey Vita Products Co. and Coptic Fellowship of America, Los Angeles,
Calif.
NATURE OF BUSINESS : The defendant was engaged in the business of promoting, 
through lectures and through the dissemination of letters, and other written, 
printed, and graphic matter, the interstate sale of the following articles: 
Bey Saffto composed of unsaturated fatty acids derived from safflower oil, 
and vitamin B6; Bey VA composed of vitamin A-from lemon grass oil; Bey 
Natural VC composed of vitamin C-from rose hips with rutin; Bey VE com- 
posed of alpha-tocopherol; Ro-Qee-Jel capsules composed of royal jelly, vitamin

from soya bean oil; Bey Vita yeast tablets composed of yeast containing vita- 
mins Bi and B3; Bey Proto-X composed of amino acids with vitamins Bi*
and Bi; and Calpans composed of brewer's yeast, calcium pantothenate, and 
vitamin Bi.
CHABOE: The complaint alleged that the defendant caused the above-named 
articles to be shipped to various cities throughout the country where he gave 
lectures on health subjects and made therapeutic claims for the articles; that 
on the basis of such claims, the audience was induced to purchase the articles 
which were available for sale at the lectures; and that the defendant also 
caused the above articles to become misbranded under 502(f)(1), when 
shipped and while held for sale, because the labeling of such articles failed 
to bear adequate directions for use since it did not declare the conditions and 
purposes for which the defendant orally represented and suggested that the 
articles were effective, namely: Bey Saffto for change of life, overweight, dry 
skin conditions, itchy skin, skin breaks, to oil skin, to feed glands, to remove 
wrinkles, to dissolve fat, and to remove body impurities; Bey VA for bad 
eyesight, eye sensitivity, cataracts, glaucoma, poor blood, arthritis, liver ail- 
ments, to neutralize excessive mucous in membranes, and to purify blood 
stream; Bey Natural VC for infected blood stream, kidney infection, high 
blood pressure, capillary fragility, impaired circulation, bleeding, stomach 
ulcers, varicose veins, mucous in sinus, ears, and membranes, anemia, arthritis, 
to coagulate blood in skin cuts, and to eliminate mucous from membranes; 
Bey VE for cataracts, glaucoma, heart trouble, muscular degeneration, skin 
breaks, arthritis, to renew muscle tone, and to sober up from drunkenness; 
Ro-Qee-Jel capsules for cataracts, glaucoma, heart trouble, muscular degen- 
eration, skin breaks, arthritis, to renew muscle tone, to sober up from drunken- 
ness, and liver conditions; Bey Vita Natur-Cal for brittle nails, brittle hair, 
varicose veins, arthritis, change of life in women, to quiet and relax, to induce 
sleep, and to build blood; Bey Vita RG Soya Lecithin for inflammation of 
lining of veins, brittle veins, brittle capillaries, brittle blood vessels, impaired 
circulation, sluggish blood, anemia, abnormal heart and blood pressure, obesity, 
liver trouble, kidney trouble, blood trouble, to dissolve cholesterol in blood, 
blood stream, and liver, and to provide food for brain and nerves; Bey Vita 
yeast taolets for poor digestion, obesity, duodenal ulcers, intestinal ulcers, 
impaired nerves, and impaired muscles; Bey Proto-X for diabetes, stomach 
ulcers, and arthritis; and Calpans for liver conditions, to promote growth in 
children, and to restore original color to hair.
The complaint alleged also that, should the articles bear labeling stating 
such conditions and purposes, the articles would then be misbranded within 
the meaning of 502(a) since such labeling would be false and misleading in 
that the articles would not be effective for such conditions and purposes.
DISPOSITION: On 3-27-61, the defendant having consented, the court entered 
a decree of permanent injunction enjoining the defendant against commission 
of the acts complained of.
