1288. Misbranding of Armstrong's Drops.    V. S. v. 84 Dozen Packages of Arm-
strong's    Drops.    Default    decree    of    condemnation    and   destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 11639.    Sample No. 21991-F.)
On January 15, 1944, the United States attorney for the Western District of
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 84 dozen packages of Armstrong's Drops at
Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about May 17
and October 27, 1943, from Los Angeles, Calif., by the F. E. Bucklin Co.; and
charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Retail carton)
"Armstrong's Drops Contents ? Fluid Oz. Manufactured for Armstrong Drop
Co.    *    *    *    So. Pasadena, Cal."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement in its labeling,
"Yi Fluid Oz.," was false and misleading as applied to the article, which was short
weight; and in that the article failed to bear a label containing an accurate state-
ment of the quantity of contents.
On February 25, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
