30026. Misbranding of Strasphene. TJ. S. v. 23 Bottles of Strasphene. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 44138. Sample No. 28155-D.) The quantity or proportion of acetophenetidin contained in this product was not declared on the label. On October 14, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 23 bottles of Strasphene at Port- land, Oreg.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 24, 1938, by the Emdee Research Laboratories from Oakland, Calif.; and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the package failed to bear on its label a statement of the quantity or proportion of acetophenetidin, a derivative of acetanilide, contained in the article, since no declaration was made of the acetophenetidin present. On December 8, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
