On February 18, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of West Virginia filed a libel against 50 cases of candy at Bluefield, W. Va., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
January 29, 1942, by Armstrong Candy Manufacturing Co. from Martel, Tenn.; 
and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was variously labeled 
in part: "Armstrong's Goober Candy Bar," "Three Cheers," "Pink Lady," "Arm- 
strong's Coconut Curls," "Plantation Fudge," "Bailana Bits," "Chocolate Log," 
or "Yum."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole 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.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements, "Net Wt. iys Ozs.," 
"Weight 1% Oz.," "Net Wt. iy3 Ozs.," "Net Weight 1% Ozs.," and "Net Wt. 1 Oz.," 
borne on the labels, were false and misleading as applied to an article weighing 
less than the statements indicated; and in that it was in package form and did not 
bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of contents.
On June 16,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered delivered to the county authorities for use 
as hog feed.
