Case Summary
The Federal Trade Commission, joined by 20 states, sued Dollar General Corporation for engaging in long-running deceptive pricing practices by routinely charging customers more at the register than the prices displayed on shelves, price tags and advertisements, costing consumers millions of dollars.
Despite being made aware of the problem, Dollar General has failed to implement policies and practices to adequately address the problem.
