25848. Misbranding of   Novo   Iodine   Compound.     U.   S.  v.  27 Dozen   Packages
of Economy First Aid Kit, each containing an article, labeled in part 
"Novo Iodine Compound." Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, 
and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 36914.    Sample no. 44053-B.)
This article was a substance other than the one which its label represented 
it to be.
On January 8, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of a quantity of Economy First 
Aid Kit which contained an article, labeled in part, "Novo Iodine Compound", 
at Boston, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 29, 1935, by the Union Products Co., from New York, 
N. Y., into the State of Massachusetts and charging misbranding in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Package) "Novo 
Iodine Compound."
Misbranding of the article was charged under the allegation that the designa- 
tion made in the label of the article, "Novo Iodine Compound", was false and 
misleading in that the article was not iodine compound but was a chloramine and 
potassium iodate compound.
On March 16, 1936, no claimant having appeared, a default decree of con- 
demnation, forfeiture, and destruction was entered.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
