Did you purchase food, cleaning products, personal hygiene products, emergency or medical products, or pet supplies from an online retailer during the COVID-19 crisis?
Alleged unfair price gouging may have caused you to pay more.
An independent investigation by Hagens Berman's legal team indicates that some online retailers allegedly increased prices for essential consumer goods during the COVID-19 crisis, causing consumers worldwide to pay artificially increased prices.
PRICE-GOUGING IS ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA
California law prohibits raising the price of many consumer goods and services by more than 10% after an emergency has been declared.
ESSENTIAL CONSUMER GOODS
- Food and drink
- Pet supplies
- Cleaning products
- Personal hygiene products, including toilet paper, soaps, shampoo, diapers, toothpaste and other toiletries
- Emergency supplies such as water, flashlights, radios, batteries, candles, blankets, temporary shelters, tape, plywood, nails and hammers
- Medical supplies such as prescription and nonprescription medications, bandages, gauze, isopropyl alcohol and antibacterial products
