price-gouging

The state Division of Consumer Affairs has received approximately 16 consumer complaints about baby formula price gouging to date, roughly half of them in the less than three days since a state of emergency was declared.

After a New York man tweeted about paying more than $27 for a beer at LaGuardia Airport, the Port Authority announced an audit of pricing policies. The cost included a 10% "COVID-19 Recovery Charge."

New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act, the OAG said in a release, "protects consumers from gross and unreasonable inflation of the sale price of any product sought by consumers to respond to or protect themselves from a public health crisis."
