Examination showed that this product contained rodent hairs.
On or about March 15, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of 
Kansas filed a libel against 24 cartons, each containing 72 pieces, of cocoanut 
peanut brittle at Kansas City, Kans., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about January 8, 1941, by the Tyler Candy Co. 
from Tyler, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted 
wholly 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: "Tyler Maid   *    *    *   Penny Peco."
On May 20, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
