Tampering With Consumer Product
Chapter 22 of the Texas Penal Code places restrictions and guidelines on the use of force by an individual acting outside of official State capacity.
“Tampering with Consumer Product”, as per § 22.09 of the Texas Penal Code, occurs when a person alters or adds a foreign substance to a consumer product to make it probable that the consumer product will cause serious bodily injury.
If a person knowingly or intentionally tampers with a consumer product knowing that the consumer product will be offered for sale to the public or as a gift to another, it either a first or second degree felony. If no harm is done, it is a second degree felony, but if a person suffers bodily injury, it is a first degree felony.
If a person knowingly or intentionally threatens to tamper with a consumer product with the intent to cause fear, to affect the sale of the consumer product, or to cause bodily injury to any person, it is a third degree felony.
