110. Misbranding of Miracle Aid for Wrinfeles. U. S. v. 21 Bottles, 40 Bottles, and 10% Dozen Bottles of Miracle Aid for "Wrinkles, and 50 Circulars, Default decrees of condemnation and destruction, (F. D. C. Nos. 11801, 12875, 12876. Sample Nos. 57239-F, 63481-F, 63486-F, 70030-F.) On or about February 16 and July 7 and 15, 1944, the United States attorney- for the District of New Jersey, the District of Utah, and the Northern District of Georgia filed libels against 21 bottles of Miracle Aid for Wrinkles at Newark, N. J., 10% dozen bottles of the same product at Atlanta, Ga., and 40 bottles of the product and 50 circulars at Salt Lake City, Utah, alleging that the product had been shipped within the period from on or about November 27, 1943, to June 7, 1944, by Miracle Products, from Chicago, Ill.; and charging that it was mis- branded. Examination of samples of the article showed that it consisted essentially of water with small amounts of protein, such as egg white, and salt, and perfume. The article was alleged to be misbranded in that certain statements in its labeling, on the bottle label, and in the circulars entitled "For the Preservation and Enhancement of Beauty," which accompanied the article when it was intro- duced and while it was in interstate commerce, were false and misleading since they represented and suggested that the article would be effective in removing wrinkles and double chin and would supply skin tissue protein to the body, whereas it would not be effective for such purposes. It was alleged that the circulars which were the subject of seizure as part of the labeling of the article at Salt Lake City had been shipped in interstate com- merce from Chicago, Ill., by Miracle Products on or about February 4, 1944, the article having been shipped on or about February 14,1944. It was alleged in the libel filed with respect to the lot seized at Newark that the circulars in that lot accompanied the article when introduced into and while in interstate commerce in the following manner: The Miracle Products (Mac Printing Co., Chicago, Ill., consignor) shipped the circulars on or about Novem- ber 24, 1943, and on November 27, 1943, shipped the Miracle Aid for Wrinkles to, Newark, where the cosmetic and the circulars were brought together for distri- bution to purchasers; and that the joint shipment and receipt of the cosmetic and the circulars relating thereto for joint distribution constituted a transaction in interstate commerce between the shipper and the consignee whereby the cir- culars accompanied the article when if was introduced and while it was in interstate commerce. On April 17, August 8, and September 30, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation were entered and the product, including the cir- culars in the Salt Lake City lot, was ordered destroyed.
