Default decrees of condemnation. Products ordered delivered to charitable 
associations.     (F. D. C. Nos. 818, 841.    Sample Nos. 68132-D, 68327-D.)
The tubes containing the dental cream occupied not more than 27 percent of the 
capacity of the cartons, and the bottles containing the dental liquid occupied not 
more than 24 percent of the capacity of the cartons.
On October 26 and November 2, 1939, the1 United States attorneys for the 
Eastern Distiict of New York and the Southern District of New York filed libels 
against 120 dozen packages of dental cream at Brooklyn, N. Y., and 4%2 gross 
of dental liquid at New York, N. Y. On December 11, 1939, the libel filed in the 
Eastern District of New York was amended. It was alleged in the libels that 
the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce within the period from on 
or about September 6 to on or about October 9,1939, by the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet 
Co. from Jersey City, N. J.; and that they were misbranded in that their containers 
were so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading.
On August 2, 1840, the claimant having failed to file an answer to the action 
instituted in the Eastern District of New York and having withdrawn its answer 
in the case instituted in the Southern District of New York, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and it was ordered that the products be distributed to 
charitable associations.
