151. Misbranding   of  nipple  shields.     U.   S.  v.   15  Boxes   of Dr.  Wansbrough's
Metallic Nipple Shields.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 151.    Sample No. 48920-D.) 
On February 3, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Rhode       V_,>
Island filed a libel against 15 boxes of the above-named article at Providence,
6, 1938, by the J. Sklar Manufacturing Co. from Brooklyn,' N. Y.; and charging
that it was misbranded.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it was dangerous to health when
used in the dosage, or with the frequency prescribed, recommended, or suggested
in the labeling, in which the article was recommended for the prevention and
treatment of sore nipples and which contained directions that the shields should
be applied as soon after delivery as possible, that in their use the only attention
required was to wipe the nipple before nursing and apply the shield again
immediately afterwards, and that they were in no way likely to be injurious
to the infant.
On August 27, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
