822. Misbranding of candy.     XT. S. v. 104 Packages and 80 Packages of Candy.
Product ordered distributed to charitable Institutions.     (F. D. C. No. 615. 
Sample Nos. 67823-D, 67824-D.)
These packages contained smaller amounts of candy than was indicated by 
their outward appearance. Examination showed that the smaller packages had 
false bottoms and that the larger packages had false ends.
On or about August 29, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of 
Connecticut filed a libel against 194 3-ounce packages and 30 pound packages of 
candy at Bridgeport, Conn., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about July 28, 1939, by Marvel Novelty Co., Inc., from 
New York, N. Y.; and charging that it was misbranded in that the containers 
were so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading. The article was labeled 
In part: "Manhattan" or "Lady Joan Assorted Chocolates."
On November 17, 1939, no claimant having appeared, Judgment was entered 
ordering that the product be distributed to charitable institutions, and that 
the containers be destroyed.
