Examination showed that this product contained 230 micrograms (gammas)
of riboflavin per tablet.
On September 26, 1942, the United
" States attorney for the District of Oregon
filed a libel against 120 bottles, each containing 90 tablets, of DPS Formula 50 at
Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about June 19
and July 9, 1942, from Los Angeles, Calif., by the Dartell Laboratories; and
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its strength differed from and
its quality fell below that which it was represented to possess, namely, vitamin Ba
(riboflavin) 348 gammas (micrograms).
It wrs alleged to be misbranded in that the statement appearing on its label,
"Each Tablet Contains .Not Less Than: * * * Vitamin B2 348 Gammas," was
false and misleading.
The article was also alleged to be adulterated and misbranded under the pro-
visions of law applicable to foods as reported in the notices of judgment on foods.
On November 4,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
