The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 20 states have filed a lawsuit against retailer Dollar General, accusing the company of charging customers higher prices than those displayed on shelves, price tags, and advertisements. The FTC stated that thousands of Dollar General stores exploited vulnerable consumers and illegally overcharged them millions of dollars through inadequate safeguards. The lawsuit claims that Dollar General has received tens of thousands of consumer complaints but has failed to implement policies to address the issue. Following this news, Dollar General's stock price fell by approximately 4%.
