21. Misbranding: of Dr. Wanshrough's Metallic Nipple Shields.     U. S. v. 9 Bexes
of Dr.  Wansbrongh'B  Metallic   Shields.     Default decree of condemnation
and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 150.    Sample No. 44802-D.)
On February 25, 1989, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Georgia filed a libel against 9 boxes of the above-named product at Atlanta, Ga.;
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
October 5, 1938, by Fred Haslam & Co., from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging
that it was misbranded.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that it was dangerous to health
when used in the dosage or with the frequency prescribed, recommended, or
suggested in the labeling, in which the product was recommended for the pre-
vention and cure of sore nipples and which contained directions that the shields
should be applied as soon after delivery as possible, that in using them the only
attention required was to wipe the nipple previously to nursing and apply the
shield again immediately afterwards, and that they were in no way likely to be
injurious to the infant.
On March 8, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
