23.1-14-09. Enforcement When the department finds any antifreeze being distributed in violation of this chapter or any rules adopted under this chapter, it may issue and enforce a written or printed "withdrawal from distribution" order, warning the distributor not to dispose of any of the lot of antifreeze in any manner until written permission is given by the department or a court of competent jurisdiction. Copies of the order must also be sent by registered or certified mail to the registrant or to the person whose name and address appear on the label of the antifreeze. The department shall release for distribution the lot of antifreeze so withdrawn upon compliance with applicable rules, or for return to the registrant or the person whose name and address appears on the label for reprocessing or relabeling as may be required. If compliance is not obtained within thirty days, the department may begin proceedings for condemnation. Any lot of antifreeze not in compliance with the law is subject to seizure upon complaint of the department in the district court of the county in which it is located or in the district court of Burleigh County.
