Artificial Cream Act, 1929.
During the year no application for registration under the
above-mentioned Act of premises used for the manufacture and
sale of artificial cream was received.
Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933. (Part II—Poisons.)
Five samples of poison or of substances suspected of containing
poison were submitted to the Public Analyst : two of oven cleaner
(informal) ; two of strong ammonia (one formal and one informal);
and one of Lysol B.P. (informal).
The samples of strong ammonia did not comply with the
requirements of the Poisons Act and Rules as to labelling, and
type of container. As the vendor had been previously warned
against a repetition of this offence proceedings were instituted
and fines totalling £3 and 5 guineas costs were imposed.
The results of samples of oven cleaner showed that they were
exempt from the operation of the Act and the sample of lysol
that the particulars on the container were correct.
Periodical visits have been made to the premises of listed sellers
of poisons.
