1904. Misbranding of grapefruit juice.     U. S. v. 94 Cases of Grapefruit Juice.
Consent decree of: condemnation.     Product ordered released under bond 
to be relabeled.     (F. D. C. No, 3516.    Sample No. 4353-E.)
The label of this product bore false and misleading representations regarding 
its efficacy in the conditions indicated below.
On or about December 27, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed a libel against 94 cases of grapefruit juice at Chicago, 
111., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about July 4, 1940, by Tolson Davies Co. from Brownsville, Tex.; and charging 
that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Perk-Up * * * 
Unsweetened Grapefruit Juice."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements, "Recommended 
* * * as a help in the prevention of colds and * * * also helpful in 
keeping the system on the 'alkaline side,'" were false and misleading. It was 
also alleged to be misbranded under the provisions of the law applicable to 
drugs, reported in D. D. N. J. No. 383.
On February 3, 1941, the Tolson Davies Co., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment 
of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be released 
under bond conditioned that it be properly relabeled.
