1317. Adulteration of isotonic solution of sodium chloride.   U. S. v. 78 Bottles of Isotonic
Solution of Sodium Chloride.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 12758.   Sample No. 59373-F.)
On June 26, 1944, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois filed a libel against 78 bottles of the above-named product at Chicago,
111., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about May 31, 1944,
from Cleveland, Ohio, by the Continental Hospital Service Co.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be "No. 3-
Sterile Isotonic Solution of Sodium Chloride for Parenteral Use," a drug the
name of which is recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia, an official
compendium, but its purity and quality fell below the standard set forth
therein since the article was contaminated with undissolved material.
On October 11, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
