19206. Adulteration and misbranding of Ethonatal Caplets. U. S. v. 24 Bottles, etc. (F. D. C. No. 33560. Sample Nos. 2414-L to 2416-L, incl.) ?See also No. 19154. 102 FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT [F. N. J. Analysis showed that the product (all lots) contained less than the declared amounts of thiamine hydrochloride and vitamin D and that the product (24- bottle and 101-bottle lots) also contained less than the declared amount of ascorbic acid. LABEL IN PART: (Bottle) "E-1010 Ethex Ethonatal Caplets Vitamins—Min- erals A scientifically balanced formula of Vitamins and Minerals for use during pregnancy and lactation and as a diet supplement." NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), valuable constituents, thiamine hydrochloride and vitamin D, had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted from the article (all lots), and a valuable constituent, ascorbic acid, also had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted from the article (24-bottle and 101-bottle lots). Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statements (all lots) "Each Caplet Contains: * * * Vitamin D * * * 400 U. S. P. Units Thiamine Hy- drochloride 2 mg." and (24-bottle and 101-bottle lots) "Each Caplet Contains: * * * Ascorbic Acid 35 mg." were false and misleading as applied to the article since all lots contained less than those amounts of thiamine hydro- chloride and vitamin D and since the 24-bottle and 101-bottle lots contained less than the amount of ascorbic acid represented. DISPOSITION: September 30, 1952. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. INDEX TO NOTICES OF JUDGMENT F. N. J. NOS. 19151 TO 19200 PRODUCTS N. J.
