This case was based on a shipment of salvaged smoke- and water-damaged 
goods, which included various cosmetics.
On April 15, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 284 cartons of miscellaneous merchandise, includ- 
ing a certain quantity of cosmetics, at New York, N. Y., alleging that the articles 
had been shipped on or about February 26 and 28, 1941, by Curtis & Travis from 
Harrisburg, Pa.; and charging that the cosmetics were adulterated in that they 
consisted in whole or in part of filthy substances, and in that they had been held 
under insanitary conditions whereby they might have become contaminated with 
filth.
The libel also covered quantities of foods and drugs that were adulterated, 
as reported in F. N. J. No. 2825 and D. D. N. J. No. 563.
On April 30, 1941, Gibbs Peoples Drug Service Co., Harrisburg, Pa., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the products were ordered released under bond conditioned that 
the fit portions be segregated and relabeled in compliance with the law.
