N.H. Rev. Stat. § 153:14-a
Following any fire fatality, serious accident or conclusive information on the high rate of flammability involving garments, clothing or fabric materials, the state fire marshal, or his authorized officer, with the approval of the commissioner of safety, is authorized to issue a temporary cease and desist order to the merchant or vendor preventing the further sale or distribution of such material, if said material is deemed by him to represent a dangerous fire hazard due to the rapid rate of flammability. This prohibition in the sale or distribution of such garments, clothing, home furnishings, carpets, mattresses, and fabric materials shall continue until such time as the questioned garment, clothing, home furnishings, carpets, mattresses or fabric material, in the opinion of the fire marshal has been proven safe for general use by the public.
