The inspectors mentioned in article L. 5127-1, acting in accordance with the provisions of articles L. 1421-2 and L. 1421-3 may, pending the results of the analysis of the samples taken or the communication of the documents requested, consign products that present or are likely to present a danger to human health. These are inventoried and left in the custody of the holder. These operations are the subject of a report, a copy of which is given to the holder and serves as notification of the consignment decision.
The consignment measure may not exceed fifteen days without the authorisation of the liberty and custody judge, on application by the inspectors mentioned in article L. 5127-1. The request shall include all information likely to justify the extension of the deposit. The liberty and custody judge will rule on this request within twenty-four hours. He or she may order the detention to continue until the test results or documents have been produced.
The liberty and custody judge may, at any time, order the release of the consignment.
The order authorising the extension of a consignment order may be appealed under the same conditions as those laid down in article L. 1421-2-1 for challenging an order authorising a visit. An order made on appeal may be appealed to the Supreme Court within fifteen days.
