Lansing, MI – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel remains steadfast in her commitment to protect consumers from businesses and retailers charging excessively high prices for products and warning people of scammers that could potentially steal their personal information.
Since COVID-19 concerns became known in Michigan in early March, Nessel’s office has received around 4,400 price-gouging complaints. Most complaints relate to grocery items, face masks and sanitizers.
Throughout the pandemic, Nessel’s office has taken multiple actions against both brick-and-mortar and online retailers seeking to take advantage of consumers during the public emergency. Thankfully the rate at which consumer complaints of price-gouging being reported to the Attorney General’s office has appeared to slow down in recent weeks.
Consumers still are encouraged to file complaints online with the Attorney General’s office.
