Search 15 U.S.C. § 2073 : US Code - Section 2073: Private enforcement

Any interested person (including any individual or nonprofit,
business, or other entity) may bring an action in any United States
district court for the district in which the defendant is found or
transacts business to enforce a consumer product safety rule or an
order under section 2064 of this title, and to obtain appropriate
injunctive relief. Not less than thirty days prior to the
commencement of such action, such interested persons shall give
notice by registered mail to the Commission, to the Attorney
General, and to the person against whom such action is directed.
Such notice shall state the nature of the alleged violation of any
such standard or order, the relief to be requested, and the court
in which the action will be brought. No separate suit shall be
brought under this section if at the time the suit is brought the
same alleged violation is the subject of a pending civil or
criminal action by the United States under this chapter. In any
action under this section the court may in the interest of justice
award the costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys' fees
(determined in accordance with section 2060(f) of this title) and
reasonable expert witnesses' fees.
