3301. Misbranding of canned flaked fish.    U. S. v. 39 Cases of Flaked Fish.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 7008.    Sample 
No. 90386-B.)
Examination showed that this product was short weight.
On March 9, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Maine filed a 
libel against 39 cases, each containing 24 7-ounce cans, of flaked fish at Portland, 
Maine, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about January 29, 1942, by Tupman Thurlow Sales Co./Inc., from Gloucester, 
Mass.; and charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: 
"Davis Bros. Flaked Fish Haddock and Codfish * * * Davis Bros. Fisheries 
Co., Inc., Gloucester, Mass."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement oh the label, "Net Weight 
7 Oz.," was false and misleading as applied to an article that was short weight; 
and in that it was in package form and failed to bear a label containing an 
accurate statement of the quantity of the contents.
On, April 25, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
