HRS §481-24
Advertising or display requirements
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗If you advertise or display goods as sold by or made for the U.S. government, you must also clearly say, just as prominently, what kind of goods they are (like used, rejects, or damaged). This section only covers that labeling duty.
