81. Adulteration of apples.     U. S. v. 13 Bushels of Apples.     Consent decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (P. D. C. No. 496.    Sample No. 55680-D.)
On August 10, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 13 bushels of apples at Chicago, Ill., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 20, 1939, 
by R. A. Buyce from Bangor, Mich.; and charging that it was adulterated in 
that it contained an added poisonous or deleterious ingredient, lead, which 
might have rendered it harmful to health.
On August 18, 1939, the consignee having consented, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
