817. Misbranding of candy. XJ. S. v. 49 Cases of Movie Komics. Default decree 
of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 626.    Sample No. 58047-D.)
The packages of this product contained from 20 to 60 percent of their ca- 
pacity.   They bore no statement of the quantity of contents.
On September 19, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of California filed a libel against 49 cases, each containing 100 packages of 
candy, at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped In 
interstate commerce on or about September 6, 1939, by Casey Concession Co. 
from Chicago, Ill.; and charging that it was misbranded in that its container 
was so made, formed, and filled as to be misleading, and in that it was in 
package form and its label did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity 
of contents. The article was labeled in part: "Movie Komics * * * Allied 
Mfg. Co. Chicago."
On November 9, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
