United States v. Articles of Drug
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (1987) | 825 F.2d 1238; 8 Fed. R. Serv. 3d 656
TL;DR: Midwest appealed condemnation of its drugs as imitations and an injunction against their sale. The court upheld most rulings but required reconsideration of products deemed imitations solely because they were “similar in concept” and revision of the injunction to specify prohibited conduct.
Legal Significance: The decision sustains the imitation-drug prohibition against a vagueness challenge while requiring physical similarity rather than conceptual similarity alone. It distinguishes strict-liability condemnation from injunctive relief supported by intentional inducement and enforces Rule 65(d)’s requirement that injunctions specify prohibited conduct.
