  • What about ALT2? Have you checked it yet? --George Ho (talk) 04:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
It wasn't there when I reviewed it, I don't think. But anyway ... product taken to court for deceptive packaging? Dog bites man. However, reading does give me an idea for an ALT3 that will allow us to use the full case title, and include what makes the case notable besides that:
  • ALT3 is too long and over 200 characters. --George Ho (talk) 05:19, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
(Comment) Note I've added a reference and text that this case was one of the first actions of the FDA. This may be helpful. I haven't worked here at DYK, so I'll leave y'all to the real work. --j⚛e deckertalk 03:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Needs a reviewer for the article and the various hooks. I have struck ALT2 because the phrase "false misleadings" does not work. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:18, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  • The article is fine: date, length, sources are good. Could we please save this for April Fool's Day? This would lend itself excellently to a humorous hook, perhaps along the lines of the following. Prioryman (talk) 20:27, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Here comes our fishies. --George Ho (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Removed from Fish Day; sent back to date of nomination. --George Ho (talk) 21:59, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
I threw up another option. Anyone like? Sven Manguard Wha? 20:57, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Since this isn't going for April Fools, can a reviewer please make clear which extant hooks are approved and which are not? It should be someone who hasn't proposed a hook that's still in contention, for obvious reasons. (I've just struck the overlong ALT3.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Still need that reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT4 looks good to me. I haven't checked the article for DYK compliance yet. Gatoclass (talk) 15:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Approving ALT5, everything looks good. -- Lord Roem ~ (talk) 23:46, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
What's wrong with ALT4? IMO it's a better hook, it's more concise and it's a good pun. Gatoclass (talk) 07:49, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
