WASHINGTON, D. G., April 1, 1948.


1976. Adulteration and misbranding of "Hi-Tox-20." U. S. v. 25 five-gallon
cans, more or less, of "Hi-Tox-20." Default decree of condemnation,
forfeiture, and destruction. (I. & F. No. 2382. I. D. No. 10649.) .
An analysis of "Hi-Tox-20" showed that the product consisted of mineral oil
containing an organic chloride similar to orthodichlorobenzene, and coloring
matter. An undiluted sample of the product, tested against bred flies in the
Peet-Grady chamber, gave an average knock-down of 11 percent and a kill of
1 percent. Comparative tests with the official test insecticide gave an average
kiock-down of 92 percent and a kill of 56 percent.
On May 3, 1945, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 25 five-gallon cans,
more or less, of "Hi-Tox-20" at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the product
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 1, 1944, by the Asso-
ciated Chemists, Inc., from Chicago, Ill., and charging that the product was an
adulterated and misbranded insecticide within the meaning of the Insecticide
Act of 1910. .
The product was alleged to be adulterated in that the statement, "Hi-Tox-20 in
Odorless Base," borne dn the containers of the product, purported and represented
that the product's standard of quality was such that it had a strength comparable

It was alleged that the product was adulterated in that its strength or purity
fell below the professed standard or quality under which it was sold, since it
was labeled (quart size) "Active Ingredient Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25% by
Wt. Inert Ingredients 94.75%" (half-gallon size) "Active Ingredient Sodium
Hypochlorite 5.25% by Wt. Inert Ingredients 94.75 by Wt.," while it contained
less than 5.25 percent of sodium hypochlorite and more than 94.T5 percent inert
ingredients.
It was alleged that the product was misbranded in that the statements (quart
size) "Active Ingredient Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25% by Wt. Inert Ingredients
94.75%" (half-gallon size) "Active Ingredient Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25% by
Wt. Inert Ingredients 94.75% by Wt.," borne on the labels, were false and mis-
leading and tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser, since it contained less
than 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite and more than 94.75 percent inert
ingredients.
On March 10, 1947, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation and
forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
1978. Adulteration and misbranding of "Sun-X Sterilizer Bleach." I. S. v. 1,195
quart containers and 299 one-half gallon containers, more or less, of

Act of 1910. The shipment was made by the Whitlock Chemical Co.
It was alleged that the product was adulterated in that its strength or purity
fell below the professed standard or quality under which it was sold, since it
was labeled "Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25%. Inert Ingredients 94.75% by weight,"
while it contained less than 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite and more than

It was alleged that the product was misbranded in that the statements, "Sodium

were false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser, since
the product contained less than 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite and more than
94.75 percent inert ingredients.
It was alleged that the product was further misbranded in that the statement,
"Sun-X Sterilizer available chlorine solution of 200 parts per million
is prepared by adding 1 ounce of Sun-X to 2 gallons of water," borne on the labels
affixed to the containers, was false and misleading, and served to deceive and
mislead the purchaser, since the statement purported and represented that the
product provided a solution containing 200 parts per million available chlorine
when 1 ounce of it was diluted with 2 gallons of water, and could be relied upon
to disinfect when diluted as directed, while the product did not provide a solution
containing 200 parts per million of available chlorine when diluted as directed,
and would not disinfect when diluted as directed.

It was alleged that the product was misbranded in that the statements, "Active
Ingredients Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25% by Wt. Inert Ingredients 94.75% by
Wt.," borne on the labels, were false and misleading and tended to deceive and
mislead the purchaser, since it contained less than 5.25 percent sodium hypo-
chlorite and more than 94.75 percent inert ingredients.

ments, "Nu-Way's Bleach Disinfects As a Dis-
infectant add 1 oz. Bleach for each 4 gallons cold water to prepare a disinfecting
solution 100 parts per million Available Chlorine," borne on the labels affixed to
containers in which the product was packed, were false and misleading and
tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser, since the statements purported and
represented that the product when used as directed would give a disinfecting
solution of 100 parts per million available chlorine, while it would not give a dis-
infecting solution containing 100 parts per million available chlorine.

It was alleged that the product was misbranded in that it consisted partially of
an inert substance (water), which did not prevent, destroy, repel, or mitigate
fungi (bacteria), and did not have the name and percentage amount of such inert
ingredient stated on the label, nor did the label bear a statement of the name and
percentage amount of ingredients having fungicidal (bactericidal) properties
and the total percentage of inert ingredients.
It was alleged that the product was further misbranded in that the statements,

lons, more or less, of "Armstrong Pynolene." Decree of condemnation,
forfeiture, and destruction. (I. & F. No. 2447. I. D. No. 14660.)
An examination of the samples of "Armstrong Pynolene" disclosed that it
consisted of soap, water, pine oil, and a small amount of sulphonated oil, water
being present to the extent of 50.5 percent. Its phenol coefficient was 2.2.
On November 27, 1946, the United States attorney for the District of Nebraska,
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 55 gallons, more or less, of "Armstrong
Pynolene" at Lincoln, Nebr., alleging that the product had been shipped in inter-
state commerce on or about October 11, 1946, by the Oriole Chemical Corp. from
Chicago, Ill., and charging that the product was an adulterated and misbranded
fungicide within the meaning of the Insecticide Act of 1910.
The product was alleged to be adulterated in that the statements, "Pine Oil
Disinfectant Coefficient 3. F. D. A.," borne on the labels affixed to the
drums containing the product, purported and represented that its standard or
quality was such that it possessed a phenol coefficient of not less than 3 by the
F. D. A. method, and that the product was a pine oil disinfectant, whereas the
strength or purity of the product fell below the professed standard or quality
under which it was sold, as the product did not possess a phenol coefficient of

The product was alleged to be further misbranded within the meaning of said
act of Congress in that said product consisted partially of an inert substance

upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel
praying seizure and condemnation of 588 quart containers, more or less, of

uct had been shipped in interstate commerce, on or about December 27, 1945,
and charging that the product was an adulterated and misbranded fungicide
within the meaning of the Insecticide Act of 1910. The product was shipped by
F. Uddo & Sons, from New Orleans, La.

In count three, the product was alleged to be misbranded in that the product
consisted partially of inert substances (substances other than borax and pyre-
thrins) which did not prevent, destroy, repel, or mitigate insects, ant? the product
did not have the names and percentage amounts of each and every one of such
inert ingredients stated on the label, nor did the label bear a statement of the
names and percentage amounts of each and every ingredient having insecticidal
properties and the total percentage of inert ingredients present.
In count four, the product "Marshall's Insect Spray" was alleged to be mis-
branded in that the labels stated in part,
(1) "Marshall's Insect Spray Kills Roaches, Water
Bugs Spray freely into all cracks and crevices and other hiding places
and whenever possible spray directly onto the insects" and (2) "Non-Poisonous,"
which said statements were false and misleading and served to deceive and mis-
lead purchasers, as said product would not kill roaches and water bugs when
used as directed and said product was not nonpoisonous, but was in fact definitely

An examination of samples of "Super Pyro-Cuper" showed that it consisted
of siliceous material, with cuprous oxide, mineral oil, and pyrethrins. The exam-
ination also showed that the product contained 3.1 percent and 2.8 percent of
cuprous oxide.
An examination of a sample of "Cuper-Dust" showed that it consisted of silice-
ous material and cuprous oxide, the cuprous oxide being the only active in-
gredient. The product actually contained 3.27 percent of cuprous oxide.
An examination of a sample of "Killer-Cuper" showed that the product con-
sisted of siliceous material, lime, cuprous oxide, and calcium arsenate and
arsenite. The product actually contained 3.66 percent of cuprous oxide.
An examination of samples of "Irish Potato Spray" showed that the product
contained calcium arsenate, calcium arsenite, cuprous oxide, and other ingre-
dients which were inert. The average cuprous oxide content was 10.05 percent.
An examination of samples of "New Pyro-Cuper" showed that the product con-
tained siliceous material, an organic thiocyanate, a small amount of pyrethrins,

Ingredient Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25% by wt. Inert Ingredients 94.75% by wt.,"
borne on the labels, were false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead
the purchaser, since the product contained less than 5.25 percent sodium hypo-
chlorite and more than 94.75 percent inert ingredients.
On July 23, 1947, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation and
forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.

"Germ-a-Zone." Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de-
struction. (I. & F. No. 2462. I. D. No. 14541.)
An examination of "Germ-a-Zone" showed this product to be an automatic
atomizer containing glycols, isopropyl alcohol, a compound of the nature of a
quaternary ammonium compound, together with a propellant.
On or about April 15, 1947, the United States attorney for the District of
Columbia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis-
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 429 dispensers, more or
less, of "Germ-a-Zone" at Washington, D. C., alleging that the product had
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 3, 1947, by the Knapp-
Monarch Co. from St. Louis, Mo., and charging that the product was a misbranded
fungicide within the meaning of the Insecticide Act of 1910.
