This product contained a poisonous or deleterious substance, namely, para- 
phenylenediamine, which might have rendered it injurious to users under the 
conditions of use prescribed in the labeling quoted below.
On March 6, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
California filed an information against George W. Eilert, trading as the Ideal 
Lash & Brow Co., Los Angeles, Calif., alleging shipment by said defendant on 
or about July 21, 1938, from the State of California into the State of Nevada 
of a quantity of Ideal Lash and Brow Dye, which was an adulterated cosmetic.
The article was labeled in part: "Ideal Lash & Brow Co. Manufactured by 
the Originator and Inventor of Lash Lure. Directions for Ideal Lash and 
Brow Dye Apply cold cream around brows and lashes, keeping cream off hair 
line; then mix enough peroxide to contents to make a paste, and apply to 
brows and lashes; leave on five minutes for deep black, then remove with clear 
water."
On September 11, 1939K the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere. On 
September 25, 1939, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed the 
defendant on probation for 1 year upon condition that he did not again violate 
this act.
