10185.?Adulteration of coal-tar color.     U. S.     *     *     *     v. 1 Pound     *     *     *
of  Coal-Tar   Color.     Default  decree   of  condemnation,  forfeiture,?
and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 14982.    I. S. No. 6591-t.    S. No. E-3213.)
On June 6, 192pL, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New?
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and con??
demnation of 1 pound of coal-tar color, remaining unsold in the original un??
broken package at New Rochelle, N. Y., alleging that the article had been?
shipped by the W. B. Wood Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo., on or about March 11,?
1921, and transported from the State of Missouri into the State of New York,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article?
was labeled in part: " W. B. Wood Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo., Warranted * * *?
Complies with all requirements   Quality   Color   *   *   *   #510 Yellow   *   *   *."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that sodium?
ehlorid and sodium sulphate had been mixed and packed with and substituted?
in part for the said article, and for the further reason that it contained an?
added poisonous or deleterious ingredient, arsenic, which might render the?
said article injurious to health.
On November 17, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
