On June 9, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado
filed a libel against the above-named products at Denver, Colo., which had
been consigned by the House of Hollywood, alleging that the articles had been
shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 2, 1941, from Los Angeles,
Calif.; and charging that they were misbranded.
Analysis showed that 'the skin stimulant consisted essentially of alcohol,
glycerin, perfume, and coloring matter; and that the texture oil was essentially?,--
a perfumed vegetable oil.
La Bonita Hollywood Skin Stimulant was alleged to be misbranded In that
the name "Skin Stimulant" was 
false and misleading, since the article con-
tained no ingredient capable of stimulating the skin.
La Bonita Hollywood Texture Oil was alleged to be misbranded in that the
name "Texture Oil," together with the statements "Pat into the neck and jaw
line using a brisk slapping motion with the back of the hand. Non-fattening,"
were false and misleading since tney gave the impression that it would affect
the structure of the skin; whereas it would not.
Both articles were alleged to be misbranded under the provisions of the law
applicable to cosmetics, as reported in notices of judgment on cosmetcs.
On June 27, 1941, the House of Hollywood, Los Angeles, Calif., having signed
an acceptance of service and authorization for taking of final decree, judgment
of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
