15 U.S.C. § 2071 — Injunctive enforcement and seizure

(a) Jurisdiction. United States district courts may (1) restrain any violation of section 2068, (2) restrain a person from making for sale, offering for sale, distributing in commerce^*, or importing into the United States a product that violates an order in effect under section 2064(d), and (3) restrain a person from distributing in commerce a product that does not comply with a consumer-product-safety rule. The Commission^*, without regard to section 2076(b)(7)(A), or the Attorney General may bring such an action in a district where an act, omission, or transaction making up the violation occurred, or where the defendant is found or does business. Process may be served on a defendant in any other district where the defendant lives or may be found. (b) Products liable to proceeding. A consumer product^* may be proceeded against on a libel of information and condemned in any United States district court where it is found if (1) it fails to comply with an applicable consumer-product-safety rule, or (2) an order in effect under section 2064(d) prohibits its manufacture for sale, offering for sale, distribution in commerce^*, or importation^* into the United States. This applies when the product is introduced into commerce, is in commerce, or is held for sale after being shipped in commerce. Proceedings under this subsection should follow in-rem admiralty proceedings as closely as possible. If substantially similar consumer-product proceedings are pending in courts in two or more districts, any such court must consolidate them for trial when an interested party reasonably applies after giving notice to all other interested parties.
