399-E - Prohibition of the importation, manufacturing, distribution, or sale of yo-yo waterball toys.

 
    * §    399-e.   Prohibition   of   the   importation,   manufacturing,
  distribution, or sale of yo-yo  waterball  toys.  1.  No  person,  firm,
  corporation,  or  association  shall import, manufacture, sell, offer to
  sell, or distribute a yo-yo waterball toy.
    2. For purposes of this section, the term "yo-yo waterball toy"  means
  a  yo-yo  waterball,  water  yo-yo, or any similar toy made of rubber or
  rubber-like material consisting of a ball that is filled with  a  liquid
  and attached to an elastic cord with a finger loop at the end.
    3.  Whenever there shall be a violation of this section an application
  may be made by the attorney general in the name of  the  people  of  the
  state of New York to a court or justice having jurisdiction by a special
  proceeding  to  issue an injunction, and upon notice to the defendant of
  not less than five days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of  such
  violations;  and  if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or
  justice that the defendant has,  in  fact,  violated  this  section,  an
  injunction  may  be  issued  by  the  court  or  justice,  enjoining and
  restraining any further violations, without  requiring  proof  that  any
  person  has,  in  fact,  been  injured  or  damaged thereby. In any such
  proceeding, the court may make allowances to  the  attorney  general  as
  provided  in  paragraph  six  of subdivision (a) of section eighty-three
  hundred  three  of  the  civil  practice  law  and  rules,  and   direct
  restitution. Whenever the court shall determine that a violation of this
  section  has  occurred, the court may impose a civil penalty of not more
  than one thousand dollars for each  violation.  Each  sale  of  a  yo-yo
  waterball  toy  in violation of this section shall constitute a separate
  violation.  In  connection  with  any  such  proposed  application,  the
  attorney general is authorized to take proof and make a determination of
  the  relevant  facts and to issue subpoenas in accordance with the civil
  practice law and rules.
