30891. Adulteration and misbranding of eucalyptus oil.    XT. S. v. 84 Pounds of
Oil Eucalyptus.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. &
D. No. 45424.    Sample No, 45799-D.)
This product did not comply with the requirements of the United States 
Pharmacopoeia in that it was not soluble in 5 volumes of 70 percent alcohol and 
it contained less than 64 percent of eucalyptol
On June 1, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 84 pounds of eucalyptus oil 
at Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about April 21, 
1939, by the Citrus & Allied Essential Oil Co. from New York, N. Y.; and charging 
adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was sold under a name 
recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia but differed from the standard 
of strength, quality, and purity as determined by the test laid down in the 
pharmacopoeia, and its own standard of strength, quality, and purity was not 
stated on the label.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label, "Oil 
Eucalyptus," was false and misleading.
On July 31,1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
