Action Over a Shampoo

Lady's Claim against Local Company An action for Tls. 20,000 damages against the American Drug Ca. by Mrs. Kitty Ren, who alleges that through using a shampoo sold to her by defendants, her hair has been permanently injured, was filed in the U.S. Court on Thursday. The petition contains six causes of action, alleging that the company "manufactured and placed on sale a concoction or bottled -mixture known as the 'American Drug Shampoo' for the use of human beings." Plaintiff deposes that she purchased a bottle of this shampoo and used it according to directions with the result that her scalp was severely burned and injured. She asserts further that due to the use of the shampoo the natural colour of her hair has been destroyed. The plaintiff is represented by Mr.-F. J. Schuhl.
