115.2 - Inspections of biological products.

Any biological product, the container of which bears a United States veterinary license number or a United States veterinary permit number or other mark required by these regulations may be inspected at any time or place. If, as a result of such inspection, it appears that any such product is worthless, contaminated, dangerous or harmful, the Secretary shall give notice thereof to the manufacturer or importer and to any jobbers, wholesalers, dealers or other persons known to have any of such product in their possession, and may proceed against such product pursuant to the provisions of part 118 of this subchapter. Unless and until the Secretary shall otherwise direct, no persons so notified shall thereafter sell, barter, or exchange any such product in any place under the jurisdiction of the United States or ship or deliver for shipment any such product in or from any State, Territory, or the District of Columbia. However, failure to receive such notice shall not excuse any person from compliance with the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act.
