On or about November 10, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of 
Connecticut filed libels against a total of 8 cases of jam and 5 cases of fruit butter 
at Bridgeport, Conn., alleging that the articles had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 3 and 24, 1941, by Max Ams from New York, 
N; Y.; and charging that they were adulterated in that they consisted in whole or 
in part of filthy substances, and In that they had been prepared under insanitary 
conditions whereby they might have become contaminated with filth. The articles 
were labeled in part: (Jars) "Bluebell Golden Lacqua A Pure Jam Made from 
the California Dried Apricot"; or Bluebell Pure Lacqua Fruit Butter."
On April 24,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation 
were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
