310. Misbranding of Parity Pine Disinfectant.    U. S. v. Wilco Laboratories, Inc.
Plea of guilty.    Fine, $50.     (F. D. C. No. 2067.    Sample No. 86164-D.)
The labeling of this product bore false and misleading representations regard-
ing its efficacy in the treatment of the conditions indicated below.
On July 9, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New
York filed an information against the Wilco Laboratories, Inc., New York, N. Y.,
alleging shipment by said company on or about September 29, 1939, from the
State of New York into the State of Connecticut of a quantity of Purity Pine
Disinfectant which was misbranded.
Analysis showed that the article consisted of soap, water, and pine oil.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the representations in the labeling that
it would be effective in the treatment of minor cuts and wounds when used as
directed, were false and misleading.
On September 5, 1940, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant
and the court imposed a fine of $50.
