29861. Adulteration of apples.    TJ, S. v. 108 Bushels of Apples.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   &   D.   No.   44256.      Sample   No. 
34662-D.)
This product was contaminated with lead.
On October 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 108 bushels of apples at Washing- 
ton, D. C.; alleging that the article had been transported on or about October 
27, 1938, by L. A. Chappell, of Tyner, N. C, from Charles Town, W. Va.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained an added 
poisonous or deleterious ingredient, lead, which might have rendered it injurious 
to health.
On November 23, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
