1117. Adulteration of prophylactics.    U. S. v. 50 Gross and 50 Gross of Rubber
Prophylactics.    Default    decrees    of    condemnation    and    destruction.
(F. D. C. Nos. 10311, 10327.   Sample Nos. 1757-F, 1759-F.)
On July 27 and 30, 1943, the United States attorney for the Northern District
of Illinois filed libels- against 100 gross of prophylactics at Chicago, 111., alleging
that the article had been shipped by Trutex Products, Inc., from Cleveland, Ohio,
on July 13 and 14,1943; and charging that it was adulterated.
Examination of samples disclosed that between 9 and 22 percent were defec-
tive in that they contained holes.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its quality fell below that
which it purported or was represented to possess.
On September 16 and 17, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgments of
condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
