Excerpt from Notices of Judgment Under the Insecticide Act (Given Pursuant to Section 4 of the Insecticide Act): 1491-1525
On July 17, 1934, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court an information against William Jesse Lindsey, trading as the Star Chemical Co., Arlington, Tex., alleging shipment by said defendant on or about June 20, 1932, from the State of Texas into the State of Georgia of a quantity of Star Liquid Lime Sulphurous Compound which was a misbranded insecticide, other than Paris green and lead arsenate, within the meaning of the Insecticide Act of 1910.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that it consisted completely of inert substances or ingredients, that is to say, substances that do not prevent, destroy, repel, or mitigate insects when used as directed, and the name and the percentage amount of each of said inert substances present in the article were not stated plainly and correctly on the bottle label. The information also charged a violation of the Food and Drugs Act reported in notice of judgment no. 24122 published under that act.
On December 5, 1984, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court imposed a fine of $25 as penalty for violation of both acts.
