On December 1, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky filed a libel against 824 packages of salicylic acid at Stanford, Ky., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 17, 1939, by the Cumberland Manufacturing Co. from Nashville, Tenn.; and charging that it was misbranded. It was alleged to be misbranded in that the representation on the labeling that the packages contained three-eighths of an ounce was false and mis- leading since it was not correct It was alleged to be misbranded further in that its container was so filled as to be misleading. On January 8, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
