HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul has joined 19 other attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission in a lawsuit accusing Dollar General Corporation of deceptive pricing practices.
The complaint says the company mislabels prices and charges shoppers more than the advertised amount, and that it did not fix the problem despite widespread internal awareness.
The bipartisan coalition of 20 attorneys general says Dollar General has drawn tens of thousands of consumer complaints from across the country, with shoppers alleging the chain failed to honor posted prices in violation of the FTC Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
