On December 2, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 48 75-pound bags of coconut at New York 
City, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about October 23, 1942, by Peter Paul, Inc., from Naugatuck, Conn.; and charge 
in that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed 
substance. The article was labeled in part: "Baker's Gem Coconut Medium 
Desiccated."
On December 24, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemns 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
