125. Misbranding; of gauze bandage.    V. S. v. 1 Gross Packages of Gauze Band
ages.    Default  decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. O. No.
274.    Sample No. 51887-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce. At the time of
examination and while in interstate commerce, it was found to be contaminated
with viable micro-organisms.
On July 7, 1939, the United States attorney for the Middle District of Pennsyl-
vania filed a libel (amended July 13, 1939) against 1 gross packages of gauze
bandage at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or
about May 9, 1938, by the Mills Sales Co. from New York, N. Y.; and charging
that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Physicians and Surgeons
Gauze Bandage First Aid Products Corp."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that representations in the labeling that
it was appropriate for use by physicians and surgeons and was appropriate
for use as a first aid, were false and misleading when applied to an article
that was not sterile.
. On August 25, 1939, no claimant having appeared, Judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
