87. Misbranding* of CMn-Firm.    U.   S. v.  62%   Dozen Packages  of  Chin-Firm.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 4951.   Sample 
No. 40820-E.)
On June 18, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel against the the above-named product at Philadelphia, 
Pa., alleging that it had been shipped on or about April 1, 2, 10, and 11, 1941, 
by the Burtley Co. from New York, N. Y.; and charging that it was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of a 
clay, water, and perfume.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements were false 
and misleading since it would not be efficacious for such purposes: "For the 
Chin and Throat Line Chin-Firm * * * (crowsfeet). In a few minutes 
you will actually feel the tightening 'Uplift* effect of Chin-Firm * * * for 
the relaxed or sagging muscles of the Chin and Throatline. Its stimulating 
'
uplift' effect   *   *   *."
On October 9, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
