Facts
The government seized an entire shipment of prophylactics under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act after finding samples from the shipment were defective. The manufacturer sued, claiming that the seizure was unlawful because the government had only tested some of the shipment and only 7.37 percent of the samples were found to be defective.
