On July 4th, Guolonghui reported that Walmart will face a lawsuit in the US federal appeal court. It is accused of often charging higher prices at the cash register than on the shelves, leading to consumers losing hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago overturned a lower court ruling, stating that consumers could attempt to prove in their class action lawsuit that the behavior of the world's largest retailer was fraudulent and violated consumer protection laws in several states. It also refuted Walmart's claim that providing a receipt after purchase negated any unfairness caused by inaccurate shelf prices. Consumer lawyers said they had found price discrepancies in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina, despite the state regulator fining Walmart for scanner pricing errors in 2022.
