Walmart Higher Prices in Store Than Advertised Online Complaint

January 13, 2023

Walmart maintains a website, Walmart.com, where it advertises and sells many of the same items that are available in its brick-and-mortar stores. The complaint alleges, however, that customers who try to buy the items in the stores are often charged more than the prices of the items advertised at the website. The complaint calls this a “bait and switch” practice that violates Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act (CSPA) and that also constitutes common law fraud.
