1321. Adulteration of triple distilled water.   U. S. v. 80 Vials and 244 Vials of Triple Dis
tilled Water.   Default decrees of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. Nos.
12096, 12105.    Sample Nos. 66234-F, 76268-F.)
On March 25 and 31, 1944, the United States attorneys for the District
of New Jersey and the Middle District of Pennsylvania filed libels against
80 100-cc. vials and 244 100-cc. vials of the above-named product at Scran-
ton, Pa., and Jersey City, N. J., respectively, alleging that the article had been
shipped between the approximate dates of December 2, 1943, and February
23, 1944, by the Adson-Intrasol Laboratories, Inc., from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and
charging that it was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be and
was represented as water for injection, a drug the name of which is recog-
nized in the United States Pharmacopoeia, an official compendium, but its
quality and purity fell below the standard set forth therein since the article
was not clear and did not meet the official test for pyrogens, but contained
insoluble suspended material and pyrogenic substances.
On June 5 and September 6, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgments
of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
