On June 11, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed libels against 17 boxes of candy at Jersey City, N. J., and 44 cartons of 
candy at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce within the period from on or about January 29 to on or about May 
23, 1940, by the Two Star Confectionery Co. from New York, N. Y.; and charg- 
ing that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy 
substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions whereby 
it might have become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled in part 
variously: "Two Star Candy Spearmint Leaves"; "Big Five Candy Gum Drops"; 
"72 Lucky Shoe" ; or "Assoc Haggi's Long Chewing Gum."
On September 26, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
