697. Misbranding of flavorings.    IT. S. v. 252 Bottles of Vanilla and 180 Bottles
of Lemon Flavorings.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 1303.    Sample Nos. 78743-D, 78744-D.)
The containers of these products were deceptive because of indented paneling 
and consequent small ratio of contents to size of bottles; and also because 
of the unduly large size of the cartons.
On January 6, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio filed a libel against 252 bottles of vanilla flavoring and 180 bottles of 
lemon flavoring at Youngstown, Ohio, alleging that the articles had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 2 and 3, 1939, by Pennex 
Products Co., Inc., from Pittsburgh, Pa.; and charging that they were misbranded 
in that their containers were so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading. 
They were, labeled in part: "Pennex Brand Pure Vanilla [or "Lemon"] 
Flavoring."
On February 5, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
