Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

410 ILCS 620/14

    (410 ILCS 620/14) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 514)
    Sec. 14. A drug or device is adulterated: (a) (1) If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid or decomposed substance; or (2) (A) if it has been produced, prepared, packed or held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may have been contaminated with filth or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health; or (B) if it is a drug and the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, processing, packing or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with current good manufacturing practice to assure that such drug meets the requirements of the Act as to safety and has the identity and strength and meets the quality and purity characteristics which it purports or is represented to possess; or (3) if it is a drug and its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health; or (4) if (A) it is a drug and it bears or contains, for purposes of coloring only, a color additive which is unsafe within the meaning of Section 706 of the Federal Act or (B) it is a color additive, the intended use of which in or on drugs or devices is for purposes of coloring only and is unsafe within the meaning of Section 706 of the Federal Act; or (5) if it is a new animal drug which is unsafe within the meaning of Section 512 of the Federal Act; or (6) if it is an animal feed bearing or containing a new animal drug, and such animal feed is unsafe within the meaning of Section 512 of the Federal Act.
    (b) If it purports to be or is represented as a drug the name of which is recognized in an official compendium, and its strength differs from or its quality or purity falls below the standard set forth in such compendium. Such determination as to strength, quality or purity shall be made in accordance with the tests or methods of assay set forth in such compendium or in the absence of or inadequacy of such tests or methods of assay, those prescribed under authority of the Federal Act. No drug defined in an official compendium is adulterated under this subsection because it differs from the standard of strength, quality or purity therefor set forth in such compendium, if its difference in strength, quality or purity from such standard is plainly stated on its label. When a drug is recognized in both the United States Pharmacopoeia - National Formulary and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States it shall be subject to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia - National Formulary unless it is labeled and offered for sale as a homeopathic drug, in which case it shall be subject to the provisions of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States and not to those of the United States Pharmacopoeia - National Formulary.
    (c) If it is not subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section and its strength differs from or its purity or quality falls below that which it purports or is represented to possess.
    (d) If it is a drug and any substance has been (1) mixed or packed therewith so as to reduce its quality or strength; or (2) substituted wholly or in part therefor.
    (e) If it is, or purports to be or is represented as, a device which is subject to a performance standard established under Section 514 of the Federal Act, unless such device is in all respects in conformity with such standard.
    (f) If it is a device and the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, packing, storage, or installations are not in conformity with applicable requirements under Section 520(b)(1) of the Federal Act or an applicable condition as prescribed by an order under Section 520(b)(2) of the Federal Act.
    (g) If it is a device for which an exemption has been granted under Section 520(g) of the Federal Act for investigational use and the person who was granted such exemption fails to comply with a requirement prescribed by or under such Section.
