5136. Misbranding of candy.   U. S. v. 266 Bags of Candy.   Default decree of con¬
demnation.   Product ordered delivered to a -welfare organization.    (F. D.
C. No. 10017.   Sample No. 1036S-F.)
This product was short weight.
On May 28,1943, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Texas 
filed a libel against 266 bags of candy at Dallas, Tex., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 22, 1943, by the Na- 
tional Candy Co. from St. Louis, Mo.; and charging that it was misbranded. 
The article was labeled in part: "Old New Orleans Style Coffee Toffee 8 Ozs. 
Net."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "8 Ozs." was 
false and misleading since it was incorrect, and in that the article was in package 
form and failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity 
of the contents.
On June 28, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a welfare organization.
