Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released 
under bond. (F. & D. No. 22076. I. S. Nos.- 16770-x, 16771-x, 10773-x. 
S. No. 119.)
On October 3, 1927, the United States attorney for the District of Connecticut, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district a libel, and subsequently an amendment
to said libel, praying seizure and condemnation of 83% cartons of olive oil, 
remaining in the original unbroken packages at New Haven, Conn., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by Leo Crisafulli, New York, N. Y., on or 
about July 29, 1927, and transported from the State of New York into the State 
of Connecticut, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act 
as amended. A portion of the article was labeled in part: " Campagnola Brand 
Choicest Pure Olive Oil * ?? * Net Contents 1 Gallon (or " y2 Gallon")." 
The remainder of the said article was labeled in part: " Contents One Gallon 
Corolla Brand Pure Olive Oil."
It was alleged in the libel, as amended, that the article was misbvanded in that 
the statements " Net Contents % Gallon " and " Contents 1 Gallon," borne on the 
labels, were false and misleading and deceived and misled purchasers. Mis- 
branding was alleged for the further reason that the article was food in package 
iorm and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously 
marked on the outside of the package.
On March 12, 1928, Leo Crisafulli, New York, N. Y., claimant, having ad- 
mitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
tourt that the product be released to the said claimant upon the execution of a 
bond in the sum of $150, conditioned in part that it be made to compiy with the 
law.
