TITLE 4: ECONOMIC RESOURCES DIVISION 5: BUSINESS REGULATION § 5425. Inspection of Packages. (a) The Governor shall, from time to time, weigh or measure and inspect packages or amounts of commodities kept, offered, or exposed for sale, sold, or in the process of delivery to determine whether the same contain the amount represented and whether they are kept, offered, or exposed for sale, or sold, in accordance with law. When such packages or amounts of commodities are found not to contain the amounts represented, or are found to be kept, offered, or exposed for sale in violation of law, the Governor may order them off sale and may so mark or tag them as to show them to be illegal. In carrying out this section, the Governor may employ recognized sampling procedures under which the compliance of a given lot of packages will be determined on the basis of the result obtained on a sample selected from and representative of the lot. (b) No person may: (1) Sell, keep, offer, or expose for sale any package or amount of com- modity that has been ordered off sale or marked or tagged as provided in this section unless and until the package or amount of commodity has been brought into full compliance with all legal requirements; or (2) Dispose of any package or amount of commodity that has been ordered off sale or marked or tagged as provided in this section and that has been brought into compliance with legal requirements, in any manner except with the specific approval of the Governor.
