United States v. Sanders
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
196 F.2d 895 (1952)

- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
The United States (plaintiff) enjoined Sanders (defendant) from introducing misbranded drugs into interstate commerce. Sanders responded to the injunction by only selling the drugs to customers who came to his store. However, Sanders knew that some of these customers intended to take the drugs out of the state. The United States sued to show cause why Sanders should not be prosecuted for criminal contempt. The court ruled in Sanders’s favor, finding he had not introduced misbranded drugs into interstate commerce. The United States appealed.
