§ 172-a. Injunction proceedings; when authorized. Any dangerous

caustic or corrosive substance in a misbranded parcel, package, or

container suitable for household use, that is being sold, bartered, or

exchanged, or held, displayed, or offered for sale, barter, or exchange,

shall be liable to be proceeded against by action for injunction in the

supreme court in the judicial district within which the same is found

and seized pursuant to judgment rendered therein and if such substance

is condemned as misbranded, by said court, it shall be disposed of by

destruction or sale, as the court may direct; and if sold, the proceeds,

less the actual costs and charges, shall be paid over to the state board

of pharmacy to be by it turned over to the comptroller at the end of

each fiscal year; but such substance shall not be sold contrary to the

laws of the state; provided, however, that upon the payment of the costs

of such proceedings and the execution and delivery of a good and

sufficient bond to the effect that such substance will not be unlawfully

sold or otherwise disposed of, the court may by order direct that such

substance be delivered to the owner thereof.
