527. Misbranding of Overnight Hair-A-Gain.    V. S. v. 80 Packages of Overnight
Halr-A-Gain.     Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C.
No. 3364.    Sample No. 45950-E.)
On November 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon
filed a libel agaist 30 packages of Overnight Hair-A-Gain at Portland, Oreg.,
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about October 19, 1940, by
Georgia O. George from Los Angeles, Calif.; and charging that it was mis-
branded.
Examination of a sample showed that .the article was essentially a semi-
solid soap with tar.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements appearing
on the label created the false and misleading impression that its use would be
effective in promoting the growth of hair: "Overnight Hair-A-Gain * * *
Blood Grows Hair (This product does not grow hair -The hair growing ele-
ment comes from the blood) Hair grows from blood." It was alleged to be
misbranded further in that the label did not bear the common or usual names
of the active ingredients.
On January 9, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
