On January 20 and March 22, 1939, the United States attorneys for the
Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Iowa filed libels
against 26 boxes of Dr. Wansbrough's Metallic Nipple Shields at New York,
N. Y., and 10 packages of the same product at Des Moines, Iowa; alleging that
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce by the Glasco Products
?Co. from Chicago, 111., on or about July 27 and December 30, 1938; and charging
that it was misbranded.
It was alleged in the libel filed in the Southern District of New York that
the article was misbranded in that it was dangerous to health when used in
the dosage, or with the frequency prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the
labeling, in which it was recommended for the prevention and cure of sore
nipples and which contained directions that the shield be applied as soon
after delivery as .possible, that in using them the only attention required was
to wipe the nipple previously to nursing, and that the shield be applied again
immediately afterwards.
It was alleged in the libel filed in the Southern District of Iowa that the
article was misbranded in that it was dangerous to health when used in the
dosage, or with the frequency prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the
labeling in which it was recommended for the prevention and relief of sore
nipples, particularly in view of the failure of the labeling to reveal factls
material in the light of such representations or material with respect to con-
sequences which might result from the use of the article to which the labeling
related under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or under such
conditions of use as are customary and usual; and in that the labeling failed
to reveal the material fact that fatal lead poisoning might result in infants
fed from breasts of mothers using this appliance.
"Oh February 7 and April 21, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgments
of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
