29349. Adulteration and misbranding of Nebusol and Gly-Ketol.    U. S. v. 70
Gallons and 250 Founds of Nebusol (and 1 similar seizure action). 
Default decrees .of condemnation and destruction. (E\ & D. Nos. 41139. 
41140, 41263.    Sample Nos. 47599-C, 49560-C, 49561-C.)
These products consisted of a glycol or a glycol ether, or both, poisons.
On December 16 and 21, 1937, the United States attorneys for the Northern 
District of Illinois and the Southern District of Ohio, acting upon reports by 
the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in their respective district courts libels 
praying seizure and condemnation of 70 gallons and 250 pounds of Nebusol and 
50 gallons of Gly-Ketol in various lots at Chicago, Ill., and Cincinnati, Ohio; 
alleging that the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on October 
22 and 29, and December 8, 1937, from New York, N. Y., by Fries Bros.; and 
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The articles were labeled variously: "Neumann-Buslee & Wolfe Inc. * * * 
Chicago Ill * * * Nebusol [or "Nebusol VC Type"]"; "Gly-Ketol * * * 
Fries Bros. N. Y."
They were alleged to be adulterated in that a poisonous substance, a glycol 
or a glycol ether, or both, had been substituted in whole or in part for food- 
flavor solvents, which they purported to be.
Misbranding was alleged in that the statements on the several labels, 
"Nebusol," "Nebusol VC Type," and "Gly-Ketol," were false and misleading and 
tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser as applied to poisons unfit for use 
as food-flavor solvents; and in that they were sold under the distinctive names 
of other articles, namely, food-flavor solvents.
On March 16 and 18, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BEOWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
