Rhode Island General Laws Title 47. Weights and Measures § 47-15-6. False construction

(a) No container wherein commodities are packed shall have a false bottom, false side walls, false lid or covering, or be otherwise so constructed or filled, wholly or partially, as to facilitate the perpetration of deception or fraud.

(b) Any sealer may seize any container which facilitates the perpetration of deception or fraud, and the contents of the container. By order of the superior court of the county within which a violation of this section occurs, the containers seized shall be condemned and destroyed or released upon such conditions as the court may impose to insure against their use in violation of this chapter. The contents of any condemned container shall be returned to the owner thereof if the owner furnishes proper facilities for its return.
