65. Misbranding: of "nutrient" and "youth" creams.    U. S. v. 12 Dozen Packages
of California Nutrient Cream and 17% Dozen Packag-es of Sue Sorrell Tex- 
ture  of Youth Cream.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 3604.    Sample Nos. 31525-E, 31526-E.)
These products contained no ingredient or combination of ingredients which 
would produce the improvement in skin nutrition or texture implied on their 
respective labels.
On December 28, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Michigan filed a libel against the above-named products at Detroit, Mich., 
alleging that they had been shipped in interstate commerce by Jeanne Tredway 
from New York, N. Y., the nutrient cream on or about October 31 and December 
8, 1940, and the texture of youth cream on or about June 27, 1940; and charging 
that they were misbranded.
Examination showed that both articles consisted essentially of hydrocarbon 
oils, lanolin, and perfume material. The nutrient cream was also found to 
contain sodium borate.
The California Nutrient Cream was alleged to be misbranded in that the 
designation "Nutrient Cream" was false and misleading.
The Sue Sorrell Texture of Youth Cream was alleged to be misbranded in that 
the statement "* * * an aid in warding off fine lines and wrinkles," appear- 
ing on the label, was false and misleading.
On February 5, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
