Finding A Federal Statute

      Once again, think about key words that relate to the topic in which you are interested. For example, you may need to research the punishment for tampering with consumer products, such as aspirin or baby food. The U.S. House of Representatives offers a site which allows you to search the U.S. Code, using key word searching. Go to the following website: http://uscode.house.gov/search/criteria.shtml Use the search field to search for “tampering with consumer products.” What is the maximum federal prison sentence for tampering with consumer products, if someone dies as a result of the tampering? If consumer death is the result of tampering, you may be fined under the title “tampering with consumer products” or be imprisoned for less than 20 years. In some cases, they may receive both.
