On October 5, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia filed a libel against 223 cases of miscellaneous foods, drugs, and cosmetics
at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the articles had been shipped on or about September 
16, 1942, by Wells and Harris from Norfolk, Va.; and charging that the cosmetic 
items were adulterated in that they had been held under insanitary conditions 
whereby they niight have become contaminated with filth.
The food items were alleged to be adulterated under the provisions of the law 
applicable to foods, as reported in notices of judgment on foods, No. 5764. The 
drug items were alleged to be adulterated and misbranded under the provisions of 
the law applicable to drugs, as reported in notices of judgment on drugs and 
devices, No. 954.
On October 12 1942, John W. Harris, claimant, having admitted the allegations 
of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the products were ordered 
released under bond for segregation and destruction of the unfit portion, and for 
reprocessing and relabeling of the good portion, under the supervision of the Food 
and Drug Administration.
