1452. Misbranding: of Nion D Capsules.    U. S. v. 6 Cases of Nion D Capsules.    De
fault decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 14424.    Sam-
ple No. 73943-F.)
On November 15, 1944, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona
filed a libel against 6 cases, each containing 6 cartons of 100 capsules each, of
Nion D Capsules at Phoenix, Ariz., alleging that the article had been shipped on
or about August 4,1944, by the Nion Corporation, Los Angeles, Calif. The article
was represented on its label as containing 50,000 U. S. P. units of vitamin D per
capsule.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it was dangerous to health when used
in the dosage and with the frequency and duration prescribed, recommended, and
suggested by its labeling, "One capsule four times a day for the first month,
increasing a capsule a day per week up to ten capsules per day."
On March 20, 1945, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
