Glonghui, July 4 | The US Federal Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that Walmart will face a lawsuit alleging that the price it charges at the cashier is often higher than the price on the shelf, causing consumers to lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year. The US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago overturned the lower court's ruling, saying that consumers could try to prove in their class action lawsuit that the world's largest retailer's actions were fraudulent and violated several states' consumer protection laws. It also refuted Walmart's claim that providing a receipt after the purchase negates any injustice caused by inaccurate shelf prices. Consumer lawyers said they discovered price differences in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York, as well as North Carolina, even though the state's regulators fined Walmart in 2022 for incorrect price scans.
