10746.?Misbranding of oil.     U. S. v. 18 Cans  of Oil.    Decree of condemna?
tion   and   forfeiture.     Product   ordered   destroyed.     (F.   &   D.   No.
16194.    I.   S.   No.   17022-t.    S.   No.   E-3846.)
On April 12, 1922, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia,?
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme?
Court of the said District, holding a district court, a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 18 cans, more or less, of oil, remaining unsold at Washington,?
D. C, alleging that the article had been shipped on or about February 9, 1922,?
by D. Lamp, New York, N. Y., and transported from the State of New York?
into the District of Columbia, and charging misbranding in violation of the?
Food and Drugs Act, as amended. The article was labeled, in part: " Regina?
Brand Winterpressed Cottonseed Salad Oil Flavored with Pure Olive Oil. A?
Compound."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
was food in package form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly?
and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package, since the stated?
quantity, to wit, " Net Contents, 1 Gallon," was incorrect and represented more?
than the actual contents of the package.
On May 21, 1922, the matter having come on for final disposition, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
