53. Adulteration of heatless method of permanent waving.    U. S. v. 7 Cartons, 1
Carton, and 1 Loose Unit of Willat Method of Heatless Permanent Waving. 
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 4299. Sample 
No. 39238-E.)
On April 9, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed a libel against 95 units of Willat Method of Heatless Permanent 
Waving at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce by the American Yvette Co. from New York, N. Y., on or about January 
24 and March 12 and 31, 1941; and charging that it was adulterated in that it 
contained a poisonous or deleterious substance, ammonium hydrogen sulfide, 
which might have rendered it injurious to users under such conditions of use 
as are customary or usual. The curling solution contained in each unit was 
labeled in part: (Bottles) "Willat Sulfalene * * * Distributor-Heatless 
Permanent Wave Co., San Francisco, Calif."
On May 16, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
