PART II. 
SALE OF UNITED STATES SURPLUS GOODS



 



§481-21  Findings and declaration of public
policy.  The legislature of the State of Hawaii finds that the sale and
distribution at retail of goods manufactured by or for or sold by the
government of the United States, or any agency or department thereof, is
peculiarly susceptible to fraud and misrepresentation.  The public interest
requires that goods offered for sale in connection with representations of any
form in which the government of the United States or any agency or department
thereof is involved should be accurately identified and correctly described. 
The commingling of goods in such a way as might create a misapprehension on the
part of any purchaser that the purchaser is buying goods sold by the government
of the United States or any agency or department thereof, or that the goods
were manufactured pursuant to government specifications, or that the goods in
fact are at the time of sale in accordance with such specifications, or that
the goods are new or in perfect condition, when not true in fact, is hereby
declared inimical to public interest and an unfair trade practice. [L 1945, c
214, §1; RL 1955, §205-40; HRS §481-21; gen ch 1985]
