Search 15 U.S.C. § 69g : US Code - Section 69G: Condemnation and injunction proceedings

(a) Grounds for condemnation; disposition of merchandise
(1) Any fur product or fur 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 fur product or fur is 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 such fur product or fur 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.
(2) If such fur products or furs 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 fur or fur products
will not be disposed of until properly marked, advertised, and
invoiced as required under the provisions of this subchapter; or by
such charitable disposition as the court may deem proper. If such
furs or fur products are disposed of by sale, the proceeds, less
legal costs and charges, shall be paid into the Treasury of the
United States as miscellaneous receipts.
(b) Grounds for temporary injunction or restraining order; issuance
without bond
Whenever the Commission has reason to believe that -
(1) any person is volating,(!1) or is about to violate, section
69a, 69d, or 69h(b) of this title; and
(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 [15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.] 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 said 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.
