88. Misbranding of Chin-Up.   U. S. v. 5^ Dozen 2^4-Ounce Bottles and 10 5-Ounce
Bottles   of  CMn-Up.     Default  decree   of  condemnation  and   destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 5147.   Sample No. 22349-E.)
The label of this product bore false and misleading statements regarding 
its alcoholic content and its value as a skin tightener.
On July 15, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California filed a libel against the above-named product at San Francisco, 
Calif., alleging that it had been shipped on or about June 3, 1941, by L. R. 
Kallman & Co. from Chicago, Ill.; and charging that it was misbranded.
[Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of 
alcoliol (53.4 percent by volume), tannic acid, water, and perfume material.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements 
on the label were false and misleading since it contained materially more than 
the declared amount of alcohol and since its use would not result in the 
elimination of crepy skin or flabby tissues of neck or chin: "Paint Chin-Up 
on Crepy Skin or Flabby Tissue of Neck or Chin * * * You Can Actually 
Feel the Tightening Action of Chin-Up   *   *   *   39 Per Cent Alcohol."
On August 14, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
