On June 17, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed libels against a total of 57 boxes of candy at Newark, N J., and 3S boxes at 
Elizabeth, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about May 25,1942, by the National Licorice Co., from Brooklyn, N. Y-; and 
charging that it was 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. The article was labeled in part: 
"Flexible Cigarettes"; "Flexo-Bars"; "Summer Six Assortment Red Lash Whips 
Penny Sticks   Whistles   Eats    Strawberry   Twizzlers   Cigarettes."
On September 10 and November 9,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments 
of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
