5777. Adulteration and misbranding of iron compound and yeast tablets.    U. S.
v. 4 Drums of Iron Compound and Yeast Tablets.   Default decree.of con- 
demnation and destruction.     (F., D. C. No. 8307..   Sample No. 4811-F.)
On September 2, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio filed a libel, against 4 drums, each containing approximately 47,300 iron 
compound and yeast tablets, at Cleveland, Ohio, alleging that the article had been 
shipped, in interstate commerce on or about February 14,1942, by the Keith Victor 
Pharmacal Co., St. Louis, Mo.; and charging that it was adulterated and mis- 
branded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that valuable constituents, vitamin 
Bi and riboflavin, had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements on its label, 
"Each tablet contains Bi (Thiamin Chloride) 50 International Units B2 (Ribo- 
flavin) 25 Gamma," were false as applied to an article that contained not more 
than 25 International Units of vitamin Bi per tablet, and not more than 15 gamma 
of riboflavin.
The article was also alleged, to be adulterated and misbranded under the pro- 
visions of the law applicable to drugs as reported in notices of judgment on drugs 
and devices, No. 967.
Oh October 16, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
