This product contained rodent hairs.
On April 26, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 14 cases of horehound tablets at Quincy, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 27, 
1940, by Walter T. Hall & Co. from Ottumwa, Iowa; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance, and in 
that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions whereby it might have 
become contaminated with filth.
On May 26, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
