LIBEL FILED :   August 24, 1945, Northern District of Ohio.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT :   On or about August 10,1945, by the Eljay Corporation, from
Chicago, Ill. 
PRODUCT:   1,202   100-tabsule bottles, 331   250-tabsule bottles, 1,037   50-tabsule
bottles, and 883   25-tabsule bottles of Super Multi-Caps at Cleveland, Ohio.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) -(1), the following valuable 
constituents had been in whole or in part omitted from the article: Vitamins 
A and D from the 100-tabsule size; vitamin A from the 250-tabsule and 50-tab- 
sule sizes; and vitamin D from the 25-tabsule size.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the following label statements were false and 
misleading: "Each Tabsule Contains Vitamin A 5000 U. S. P. Units, Vitamin 
D 800 U. S. P. Units * * * Minimum Daily Requirements as provided in 
each Super Multi-Caps Tabsule Vitamin A 1% Times, Vitamin D 2 Times." 
The article did not contain the stated amounts of vitamins, and it did not 
provide, in the 100-tabsule size, the stated proportion of the minimum daily 
requirements for vitamins A and D and, in the 250-tabsule and 50-tabsule sizes, 
the stated proportion of the minimum daily requirements for vitamin A.
Further misbranding, Section 403 (j), the article in the 25-tabsule size pur- 
ported to be and was represented as a food for special dietary uses by reason of 
its vitamin A, Bi, C, D, B2, Be, E, calcium pantothenate, and niacinamide con- 
tent, and its label failed to bear, as required by the regulations, a statement 
of the proportion of the minimum daily requirements for vitamins A, Bi, C, D, 
and B2, and the amounts of vitamins Bs, E, calcium pantothenate, and niacin- 
amide furnished by a specified quantity of the product when consumed during a 
period of 1 day; and the label also failed to bear the required statement that 
the need for vitamins Be, E, and calcium pantothenate in human nutrition has 
not been established.
DISPOSITION: March 12, 1946. The Oxford Products, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio, 
claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered released under bond for relabel- 
ing, or disposal in bulk, under the supervision of the Food and Drug 
Administration.
