Mark S. Herr announced today.
State law requires merchants to stock enough of an advertised product to meet customer demand.
We will not tolerate that practice or any other form of deceptive advertising. The Division of Consumer Affairs will forward, within 15 days of the settlement, a list of all outstanding consumer complaints. Nationwide must provide the Division with proof that a consumer complaint has been resolved or that complaint will be referred to the Division's Alternate Dispute Resolution Unit. Deputy Attorneys General Sharon McCloskey and David Puteska are handling this settlement for the State.
