1352. Misbranding of peanut butter.    U. S. v. 50 Cases of Peanut Butter.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to a charitable 
institution.     (F. D. C. No. 2044.     Sample No. 5868-E.)
This product was short weight.
On June 3, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
West Virginia filed a libel against 50 cases of peanut butter at Williamson, W. 
Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about April 2, 1940, by Producers Peanut Co., Inc., from Suffolk, Va., and 
charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Jar) "Armour's Star 
Pure Peanut Butter 6 Oz. Net    *    *    *   Armour and Company."
Misbranding was alleged in substance in that the statement on the label, 
"6 Oz. Net," was false and misleading since the jars contained less than that 
amount.
On June 14, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
