§ RS 3:4682. Products not conforming to specifications, duty of commissioner
A. When the analysis of a sample of a petroleum product taken in conformity with the provisions of this Subpart discloses that the product from which the sample was taken does not conform to the specifications fixed by the commissioner it is the duty of the commissioner to immediately serve notice on the manufacturer, distributor or seller that the product must not be sold in the state. If the petroleum product is in the process of transportation and has not yet been delivered to the consignee or retailer, the commissioner may immediately notify the consignor of the result of the test and instruct said consignor to withdraw the product from sale in this state. Failure on the part of the consignor to obey these orders shall constitute a violation of this Subpart.
B. If the petroleum product is not in the process of transportation, but is exposed or offered for sale or distribution, the commissioner may, by written notice, suspend the sale or distribution of this product. The retailer or distributor upon whom a notice of suspension is served, is prohibited from doing business in the sale or distribution of this product until formally released by order of the commissioner. The order of suspension given by the commissioner must apply only to that product and cannot be extended to cover other petroleum products sold or distributed by a retail dealer or distributor which are found to conform to specifications fixed under the provisions of this Subpart.
