28006. Adulteration of apples. II. S. v. 36 Bushels and 24 Bushels of Apples. 
Consent decrees of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. Nos. 40655, 
40657.   Sample Nos. 50213-C, 50217-C.)
These apples were contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On October 12 and 14, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 60 bushels of 
apples at Chicago, Ill. alleging that they had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 5 and 7, 1937, by Stanley Tonkin from Benton 
Harbor, Mich., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
They were alleged to be adulterated in that they contained added poisonous 
or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered them 
harmful to health.
On October 21 and 22, 1937, the claimant having consented to the entry of a 
decree, the product was condemned and ordered destroyed.
