1701. Misbranding of tea.    U. S. v. 115 Boxes of Tea.    Default decree of con- 
demnation.      Product    ordered   distributed   to   charitable   institutions.
(F. D. C. No. 3581.    Sample No. 37417-E.)
This product occupied on an average less than two-thirds of the volume of its 
wax paper lined cartons.
On December 26, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
North Carolina filed a libel against 115 boxes of tea at Greenville, S. C, allegr 
ing that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Sep- 
tember 28 and November 23, 1940, by the Dwinell-Wright Co. 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: 
(Cartons)  "Dixie Home Orange Pekoe and Pekoe Tea."
On February 18, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered distributed to charitable insti- 
tutions.
