655. Adulteration and misbranding of prophylactics.    U. S. v. 5*6 Gross of Pro
phylactics.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No.
5197.    Sample No. 47479-E.)
This product was defective because it contained holes.
On July 25, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illi-
nois filed a libel against 5? gross of prophylactics at Chicago, 111., alleging that
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 2, 1941, by
the International Distributors from Memphis, Tenn.; and charging that it was
adulterated and misbranded.   It was contained in unlabeled packages.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its quality fell below that
which it purported or was represented to possess. It was alleged to be mis-
branded in that it did not bear a label containing the name and address of the
manufacturer, packer,  or distributor, nor did it bear a label containing an?(
accurate statement of the quantity of the contents.
On October 15, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
