1884. Adulteration of candy eggs.    U. §. v. 71 Boxes of Candy.   Default decree
of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. Nos. 4101, 4102. Sample Nos. 
40547-E, 40548-E.)
This product was an egg-shaped hollow candy shell, at one end of which was 
a glass lens through which paper figures in the interior of the egg could be viewed.
On March 31, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 71 boxes of candy at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about February 12 and 19, 1941, by the 
Panorama Novelty Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging that it was adulterated. 
It was labeled in part: "Panorama Eggs."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that (1) it consisted in whole 
or in part of a filthy substance, namely, rodent hairs; (2) it might have been 
prepared under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated 
with filth; and (3) it was confectionery and bore or contained a nonnutritive 
article, namely, a glass lens.
On April 19, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
