IIS. Misbranding of First-Aid Bandages. XT. S. ?. 846 Cans of First-Aid Band-
ages. Default decree of condemnation. Product ordered delivered to
public institution.     (F. D. C. No. 1005.    Sample No. 82507-D.)
The containers of this product were deceptive, since the contents occupied
only approximately one-half of the available space in the package.
On or about November 18, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern
District of Georgia filed a libel against 846 cans of bandages at Atlanta, Ga.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
September 25, 1939, by Hampton Manufacturing Co. from Carlstadt, N. J.; and
charging that it was misbranded in that its containers were so made, formed,
or filled as to be misleading. The article was labeled in part: "Blue Grass
First-Aid Bandage Waterproof with Mercurochrome H W & D."
On December 6, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a public institution.
