    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:
    The People of the State of California V Kohl's Department Stores, Inc

    The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved.  We are providing a summary of the government’s allegations, which have not yet been proven.

    On December 8, 2016, the Los Angeles City Attorney filed a lawsuit against Kohl's Department Stores, Inc.,alleging that Kohl's employs false reference pricing by falsely claiming that their merchandise previously sold at much higher prices in order to create a sense of value at the sale prices.

    Under California Law, retailers are not permitted to advertise a former price of an item unless that price was the prevailing market price within three months of the advertisement, or unless the date of the former price is disclosed.

    The lawsuit seeks injunctions prohibiting Kohl's from further use of false reference pricing and civil penalties.
