243. Adulteration of apples.     U.  S. v.  187 Bushels of Apples.     Consent decree
of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 1402.    Sample No. 47087-D.)
On October 24, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 187 bushels of apples at Blue Island, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been transported in interstate commerce on or about 
October 19, 1939, by Nial J. Anderson in his own truck from Hartford, 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 November 1, 1939, the claimant having consented, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
