Heading: Carbon Black

Text: 24 L & F specifically objects to the use of carbon black and argues that it was deceptive to add it to the laboratory soap scum because it left the viewer with the false impression that LYSOL products would leave behind a residue capable of soiling white fabric. The district court rejected this contention. 25 L & F would have us find that there is some acceptable level of blackness for laboratory-developed soap scum which was exceeded in this case. Even were we inclined to engage in such an endeavor, the record supports the finding that carbon black exists in many household items and is thus a natural component of organic soap scum. The inescapable fact is that LYSOL products sometimes leave a residue. In our view, P & G was entitled to make the residue camera-registrable in this fashion.
