86. Adulteration  and   misbranding   of Halibut   Liver   Oil  Plain.     U.   S.  v.  22
Pounds of Halibut Liver Oil Plain.    Default decree of condemnation and
destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 1302.    Sample No. 89303-D.)
This product was represented to consist of plain halibut liver oil, whereas it
was found to contain a material proportion of another fish liver oil.
On January 9, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois filed a libel against 22 pounds of halibut liver oil plain at Chicago, 111.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
October 10, 1939, by International Vitamin Corporation from New York, N. T.;
and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
Adulteration was alleged in that another fish-liver oil had been substituted
wholly or in part for plain halibut-liver oil.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the container,
"I. V. C. H. L. O. Plain," was false and misleading, since the article did not con-
sist of halibut-liver oil plain. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that it
was offered for sale under the name of another drug.
On February 9, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
