WALMART
AWM inspectors, along with weights and measures officials throughout the state, help bring evidence to the San Diego County District Attorney and California Attorney General in a four-year investigation of Wal-Mart stores that resulted in a $1.4 million judgment for overcharging consumers on items scanned at the check-out counters.
On November 24, 2008, Wal-Mart, without admitting wrongdoing, agreed to entry of a judgment that includes the payment of $1.2 million in civil penalties, $190,621 in costs to 30 weights and measures agencies and prosecutors’ offices, and $50,000 to a Consumer Protection Prosecution Trust Fund. The case was filed jointly by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office and the California Attorney’s General Office in San Diego County Superior Court. The judgment prohibits Wal-Mart from charging an amount greater than the currently-advertised price for items in the future and requires every Wal-Mart store in California to maintain a “Get It Free” program for four years. Customers who are overcharged for an item which costs $3 or less will get that item for free. If the item costs more than $3, they item will be reduced by $3. A sign informing consumers of the program must be posted at every check-out stand.
Wal-Mart operates over 4000 stores nationwide with 20 being in San Diego County. AWM will receive over $14,000 in investigative cost recovery.
KRAGEN AUTO PARTS
On October 28, 2008, without admitting wrongdoing, CSK Auto, Inc., which does business in California as Kragen Auto Parts, consented to entry of a judgment in a civil case that includes the payment of more than $665,000 in civil penalties, costs, and restitution and injunctive provisions to ensure future compliance. The stipulated judgment, which was filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court, requires CSK to implement additional audit and price accuracy procedures in its California stores for a five year period to ensure compliance with pricing accuracy requirements. CSK must also implement a Scan-Right Guarantee to compensate consumers when they find they have been charged more than the lowest advertised or posted price. Signs explaining the guarantee will be posted in all California Kragen stores. Civil action was brought against CSK when evidence of overcharging customers at the check stand was gathered by Weights and Measures Officials in San Diego County, the State Division of Measurement Standards, and the district attorneys of San Bernardino, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz.
CSK Auto operates over 1,300 stores in 22 states. Kragen Auto Parts has over 500 stores in California with 36 being in San Diego County. AWM will receive over $13,000 in investigative cost recovery.
