States a product in violation of an order in effect under section
2064(d) of this title.
(3) Restrain any person from distributing in commerce a product
which does not comply with a consumer product safety rule.
Such actions may be brought by the Commission (without regard to
section 2076(b)(7)(A) of this title) or by the Attorney General in
any United States district court for a district wherein any act,
omission, or transaction constituting the violation occurred, or in
such court for the district wherein the defendant is found or
transacts business. In any action under this section process may be
served on a defendant in any other district in which the defendant
resides or may be found.

safety rule, or

in commerce, or the importation into the United States of which
has been prohibited by an order in effect under section 2064(d)
of this title,
when introduced into or while in commerce or while held for sale
after shipment in commerce shall be liable to be proceeded against
on libel of information and condemned in any district court of the
United States within the jurisdiction of which such consumer
product is found. Proceedings in cases instituted under the

for trial by order of any such court upon application reasonably
made by any party in interest upon notice to all other parties in
