687. Misbranding of  candy.     U.  S. v. 237 Packages of Candy.    Default decree
of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to charitable institutions.
(F. D. C. No. 799.    Sample No. 74039-D.)
Each of the boxes containing this product had a false bottom, nine-sixteenths 
of an inch in depth, which occupied one-fourth of its capacity. There were 
two layers of candy in each box, the lower layer containing 2 ounces less than 
the top.
On or about October 25, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of 
Connecticut filed a libel against 237 packages of candy at New London, Conn., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
September 1 and 6, 1939, by Standard Chocolates, Inc., from Boston, Mass.; and 
charging that it was misbranded in that its container was so made, formed, or 
filled as to be misleading. The article was labeled in part: "Dorothy Bradford 
Assorted Chocolates One Pound   *    *    *   Dorothy Bradford Boston, Mass."
On December 13,1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered distributed to charitable institutions.
