Over Size Cartons Misleading Packaging Under New Law
The food drug and cosmetics act targets deceptive packaging and will curb oversized cartons. Examples include 10 cent toothpaste tubes in boxes large enough for two tubes, opaque jars for creams, and spices in oversized top boxes. As current stock sells out, products will switch to containers that reflect contents more accurately.
Stopping the Mails Intercepting Mis mailed Letters
The proper method to stop a mailed letter is to notify the local post office. Interception requests are handled by the Classification section in New York, which processes one to five daily. Interceptions occur at the main post office or railroad station, and if the letter is already en route the sender may pay for a telegram to the destination post office.
