    As appropriate, the Commission will attempt to protect the public 
from hazards presented by consumer products by seeking one or more of 
the following:
    (a) Adjudicated Commission Order. An adjudicated Commission Order 
under section 15 (c) or (d) of the CPSA may be issued after parties and 
interested persons have had an opportunity for a hearing in accordance 
with section 554 of title 5, United States Code, and with section 15(f) 
of the CPSA. This hearing is governed by the Commission's Rules of 
Practice for Adjudicative Proceedings (16 CFR part 1025).
    (b) Injunctive relief. The Commission may apply to a U.S. district 
court in accordance with the provisions of section 15(g) of the CPSA for 
a preliminary injunction to restrain the distribution in commerce of a 
product it has reason to believe presents a substantial product hazard. 
The Commission may seek enforcement of its orders issued under sections 
15 (c) and (d) of the CPSA in accordance with provisions of sections 22 
and 27(b)(7) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2071 and 2076(b)(7)).
    (c) Judicial determination of imminent hazard. The Commission may 
file a complaint in a U.S. district court in accordance with the 
provisions of section 12 of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2061).
    (d) Orders of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Commission staff 
may inform the Secretary of the Treasury that a consumer product offered 
for importation into the customs territory of the United States fails to 
comply with an applicable consumer product safety rule and/or has a 
product defect which constitutes a substantial product hazard. The 
Commission may request the Secretary of the Treasury under section 17 of 
the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2066) to refuse admission to any such consumer 
product.
