1656.  Misbranding of butter.     TJ. S. v. 150 Cases of Butter.     Consent decree of 
condemnation.     Product   ordered   released  under   bond   for   repacklngr.
(F. D. C. No. 2722.    Sample No. 21132-E.)
This product was short of the declared weight.
On August 9, 1940, the United States attorney for the Territory of Hawaii 
filed a libel against 150 cases of butter at Honolulu, T. H., consigned by 
American Factors, Ltd., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 2, 1940, from San Francisco, Calif.; and charging 
that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Carton) "Diamond Head 
Brand Butter."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the carton bore the state- 
ment "Net Weight 1 lb.," which statement was false and misleading for the 
reason that the weight of the contents of the carton was less than 1 pound 
net. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that it was in package form 
and the package did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the 
contents.
On August 15, 1940, American Factors, Ltd., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered 
that the product be released under bond for repacking to the labeled weight.
