Terry Goddard's Campaign Site
Attorney General Terry Goddard announced that his office filed consumer fraud lawsuits today against AutoZone and Wal-Mart for their continued failure to correct pricing violations at their stores across Arizona.
Both retailers have been consistently cited by the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures (DWM) during the past five years for discrepancies between posted prices and checkout prices and for failing to post shelf prices on many products. Both companies have not contested the violations and have paid substantial fines, but both have yet to eliminate the pricing problems.
"Price accuracy is a fundamental consumer right which these companies have repeatedly abused," Goddard said. "The state has made every effort to work with both of these retailers to no avail. When retailers fail to post and scan correct prices, there is no reasonable way for Arizona consumers to comparison shop. Shopping should not be a game of chance."
FINALLLLLLLLLLYYYY!!!!!
