1214. Adulteration of suprarenalin solution.    U. S. v. 432 Vials of Suprarenalin
Solution.    Default   decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C.
No. 11519.    Sample No. 65902-F.)
On January 3, 1944, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
New York filed a libel against 432 vials of suprarenalin solution at New York,
N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about November 12 and
26, 1943, by the Armour Laboratories, Chicago, 111.; and charging that it was
adulterated. The article was labeled in part: "Suprarenalin Solution 1 : 1,000
A brand of solution of epinephrine hydrochloride U. S. P. Sterile-For Hypo-
dermatic Use."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be and was
represented as a drug, epinephrine hydrochloride ampuls, the name of which is
recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia, an official compendium, but its
quality and purity fell below the standard set forth therein since the article was
not free from undissolved material.
On February 28, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and it was ordered that a portion of the product be released to
the Federal Security Agency, and that the remainder be destroyed.
