This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On November 8, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Kentucky, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 45 bushels of apples 
at Dawson Springs, Ky.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about November 3, 1938, that it had been transported from 
Morning Star Orchards, Rothbury, Mich., by Ralph Isaacs to himself at Dawson 
Springs, Ky.; and charging that it was adulterated in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it 
injurious to health.
On November 18, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
