HRS §149A-20
When the state can seize or stop the sale of pesticides
This section lets the state seize pesticides or devices that break the law, or order them removed from sale. A court decides what happens to seized items, which may be destroyed, sold, or returned to the owner under conditions. The state can also issue a stop-sale order to keep illegal products off the market.

The statute, as written — Seizures; "stop-sale" and "removal from sale" orders

(b) The chairperson or the chairperson's authorized agent may issue and enforce a written or printed "stop-sale" or "removal from sale" order to withhold from sale any pesticide or device that is distributed, sold, offered for sale, transported, or delivered for transportation in violation of this chapter.
