1532. Adulteration and  misbranding of prophylactics.    U. S. v. 47%   Gross of
Prophylactics.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D.
C. No. 15132.   Sample No. 5G29-H.)
On or about January 31, 1945, the United States attorney for the District of
Connecticut filed a libel against 47? gross of prophylactics at New Haven, Conn.,
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about January 10, 1945, from
New York, N. Y., by the Goodwear Rubber Co. The article was labeled in part:
"Xcello's Prophylactics."
Examination of samples disclosed that the article was defective in that it
contained holes.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that its quality fell below that which it
purported and was represented to possess. It was alleged to be misbranded in
that the label statement, "Prophylactics," was false and misleading as applied
to an article containing boles.
On March 13, 1945, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
