1J2586. Misbranding of salad dressing,- and relish. U. S. v. 2 Cases of?
Mayonnaise and 3 Oases of Relish. Default decrees entered. Prod??
ucts ordered destroyed. (F. & P. No. 16386. I. S. Nos. 884.")-t, 8846-L?
S. No. E-3S98.)
On June 14, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district libels for the seizure?
and condemnation of 2 cases of mayonnaise and 3 cases of relish, remaining-?
unsold in the original packages at Richmond, Va., alleging that the articles?
had been shipped by the Duke Mayonnaise Co., Greenville, S. C, May 10,?
1922, and transported from the State of South Carolina into the State of Vir??
ginia, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Ad.?
The articles were labeled in part, respectively: (Jars) "Duke's Home Made?
Mayonnaise * * * Net Weight 8 Ozs.;" " Duke's Home Made Relish * * *?
Made by the Makers of Duke's Home Made Mayonnaise Duke Mayonnaise Co.?
Greenville, S. C.    Net Weight 8 Oz."
Misbranding of the articles was alleged in substance in the libels for the?
reason that the labels of the jars containing the respective articles bore the?
following statement, " Net Weight 8 Ozs.," which statement was false and mis??
leading and deceived and misled the purchaser, since the said jars did not?
contain 8 ounces.
On October 12, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments?
of the court were entered ordering that the products be destroyed by the?
United States marshal.
