Michigan says Wal-Mart violated pricing laws
Posted on: Wednesday, 1 March 2006, 12:25 CST
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Michigan's attorney general said on Wednesday he was taking legal action against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for not properly marking prices on merchandise in its stores.
Attorney General Mike Cox said the legal action was in the form of a "Notice of Intended Action," which is a necessary step before a company can be sued by the attorney general under the Consumer Protection Act.
Wal-Mart, which has been accused of improper pricing in states including California, has 10 days to make substantial compliance efforts, or be sued, Cox said in a statement.
