1983.113—Judicial enforcement.

Whenever any person has failed to comply with a preliminary order, including one ordering reinstatement, or a final order, including one approving a settlement agreement, issued under the CPSIA, the Secretary or a person on whose behalf the order was issued may file a civil action seeking enforcement of the order in the United States district court for the district in which the violation was found to have occurred. In such civil actions, the district court will have jurisdiction to grant all appropriate relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and compensatory damages, including:
(a) Reinstatement with the same seniority status that the employee would have had, but for the discharge or retaliation;
(b) The amount of back pay, with interest; and
(c) Compensation for any special damages sustained as a result of the discharge or retaliation, including litigation costs, expert witness fees, and reasonable attorney's fees.
