misbranded under 502(a) in that its labeling was false and misleading since

activities were violative of the Act; that a hearing had been held on 2-18-60,

article was violative of the Act; and that despite such warnings, the defendant
continued to introduce the article into interstate commerce.
DISPOSITION : 12-16-60. The defendant having consented, the court entered a
decree of permanent injunction enjoining and restraining the defendant from
commission of the acts complained of.
