175. Misbranding of Yuth.   U. S. v. 58 Dozen Cartons   *   *   *.   (F. D. C. No.
24763.   Sample No. 3842-K.)
LIBEL FILED :   May 6, 1948, District of Maryland.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT:   On or about January 27 and 29 and March 6, 1948, by
Jessop Products, Inc., from New York, N. Y. 
PRODUCT:   58 dozen cartons, each containing a circular entitled "Yuth Toiletries"
and "The Story of Yuth" and one 8-ounce bottle of Yuth at Baltimore, Md.
Examination  showed  that the  product  consisted of lead  acetate,  sulfur,
pilocarpine, cantharides, glycerin, water, and perfume.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 602 (a), the label statement "Con- 
tains * * * piumbi acetas" was misleading since the use of the Latin title 
failed to reveal the material fact that the article was a lead acetate hair dye. 
Further misbranding, Section 602 (a), certain statements on the labels of 
the article and in the circulars were false and misleading since they repre- 
sented and suggested that the article would bring about youthful appearances 
of the hair and scalp and would cause the original color of the hair to be 
restored. The article would not bring about youthful appearances of the 
hair and scalp and would not cause the original color of the hair to be restored, 
but would dye the hair.
The article was alleged also to be misbranded under the provisions of the law 
applicable to drugs, as reported in notices of judgment on drugs and devices, 
No. 2540.
DISPOSITION :    June 21, 1941.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
