3425. Adulteration and misbranding of Coreco Vitamins A—B1—G—D capsules. 
TT. S. v. 512 Boxes of Coreco Vitamins A-B^-G-D Capsules. Default 
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 6777. Sample No. 
23110-B.)
Each of these capsules was represented to contain 50 International Units of 
vitamin Bi and 1,000 U. S. P. units of vitamin D; whereas examination showed 
that they contained less than 12.5 International Units of vitamin Bi and not 
more than 850 U. S. P. units of vitamin D.
On January 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of California filed a libel against the above-named product at San Francisco, 
Calif., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce On or about 
May 25, 1940, by the International Vitamin Corporation from New York, N. Y.; 
and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that valuable constituents, namely, 
vitamin Bi and vitamin D, had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted 
therefrom.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements were false 
and misleading since when taken in the dosage of 1 capsule per day, as directed, 
they would not furnish moderate amounts of vitamins Bi and G: "Biologically 
Assayed and Standardized   *    *   *    each capsule contains   not   less   than:
* * * 1,000 U.S.P. Units of Vitamin D, 50 International Units of Vitamin B, 
(approx 100 Chase-Sherman Units) * * * Each capsule is equivalent in 
U.S.P. Units of Vitamins * * * D to not less than 3 teaspoonfuls of Cod 
Liver Oil U.S.P. assaying ** * * 85 Vitamin D Units per gram. Each cap- 
sule furnishes * * * moderate amounts of Vitamin Bi and Q to supplement 
the supply of these vitamins contained in the diet."    •
It also was alleged to be adulterated and misbranded under the provisions 
of the law applicable to drugs, as reported in notices of judgment on drugs 
and devices.
On March 9, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
