A New Jersey investigation found overcharging and misleading advertising at auto parts stores. The State said, “The investigation, undertaken early last year, found that seven AutoZone stores in Newark, Carteret, Elizabeth, Linden, Flemington, and Plainfield, failed to plainly mark the total selling price on some merchandise.” http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/News/Pages/03292016.aspx. A consent order was later executed. http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/News/PressAttachments/03292016_AutoZone_att.pdf
The Division of Consumer Affairs said, “AutoZone is the largest of five New Jersey automotive parts retailers to settle allegations of pricing violations in the past year… that the automotive parts retailers also failed to plainly mark the total selling price on merchandise offered for sale in their stores State.”
Our office is evaluating legal action including possible class action involving these claims.
