1697. Misbranding of vanilla and almond extracts.     U. S. v. 4 Gases of Vanilla
and 2 Gases of Almond Flavoring;. Default decree of condemnation. 
Products ordered delivered to a charitable institution. (F. D. C. No. 1985. 
Sample Nos. 10919-E, 10920-E.)
The bottles containing these products were 1%2 inches at the bottom and 
tapered to 1 inch at the shoulders. The necks were unnecessarily long. The 
bottles occupied on an average less than 50 percent of the cartons.
On May 17, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 4 cases of vanilla extract and 2 cases of almond extract 
at Newark, N. J., alleging that the articles had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about February 23 and April 3, 1940, by Fred Fear & Co. from 
Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging that they were misbranded in that their containers 
were so made, formed or filled as to be misleading. The articles were labeled 
in part: "Morrow's Pure Extract Vanilla [or "Almond"] * * * Prepared by 
Morrow Extract Corp. New York, N. Y."
On February 21, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
nunc pro tunc as of June 19, 1940, condemning the products and ordering that 
they be delivered to a charitable institution.
