Cap. 427 Art. 24Written notice.

Where an authorised officer has reasonable cause to believe that a product is unsafe or otherwise likely to cause injury, he may give the person responsible a written notice ordering him that until such time as the said notice is withdrawn, the product shall not be used, sold, offered for sale or traded or shall not be removed except to such place as the notice may specify. Any person who knowingly breaches or assists in breaching such written notice shall be guilty of an offence under this Act: Provided that the Director General shall, as soon as practicable, but not later than two months from the service of such notice, on the person responsible, determine the safety or otherwise of the product and shall -

(a) if it is established that the product is safe, withdraw the notice; or

(b) if the product is established to be unsafe, prohibit its further use or sale, order its seizure and confiscation, as well as retention of the product in such premises as the Director General may specify at the expense of the producer.
