Search 15 U.S.C. § 68e : US Code - Section 68E: Condemnation and injunction proceedings

(a) Grounds for condemnation; disposition of merchandise
Any wool products shall be liable to be proceeded against in the
district court of the United States for the district in which
found, and to be seized for confiscation by process of libel for
condemnation, if the Commission has reasonable cause to believe
such wool products are being manufactured or held for shipment, or
shipped, or held for sale or exchange after shipment, in commerce
in violation of the provisions of this subchapter, and if after
notice from the Commission the provisions of this subchapter with
respect to said products are not shown to be complied with.
Proceedings in such libel cases shall conform as nearly as may be
to suits in rem in admiralty, and may be brought by the Commission.
If such wool products are condemned by the court, they shall be
disposed of, in the discretion of the court, by destruction; by
sale; by delivery to the owner or claimant thereof upon payment of
legal costs and charges and upon execution of good and sufficient
bond to the effect that such wool products will not be disposed of
until properly stamped, tagged, labeled, or otherwise identified
under the provisions of this subchapter; or by such charitable
disposition as the court may deem proper. If such wool products are
disposed of by sale, the proceeds, less legal costs and charges,
shall be paid into the Treasury of the United States.
(b) Grounds for temporary injunction or restraining order; issuance
without bond
Whenever the Commission has reason to believe that -
(1) Any person is violating, or is about to violate, sections
68a, 68c, 68f, or 68g of this title, and that
(2) It would be to the public interest to enjoin such violation
until complaint is issued by the Commission under the Federal
Trade Commission Act and such complaint dismissed by the
Commission or set aside by the court on review, or until order to
cease and desist made thereon by the Commission has become final
within the meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act,
the Commission may bring suit in the district court of the United
States or in the United States court of any Territory, for the
district or Territory in which such person resides or transacts
business, to enjoin such violation, and upon proper showing a
temporary injunction or restraining order shall be granted without
bond.
