Family Dollar settles multi-state price deception lawsuit; here’s how much Iowa will get

Family Dollar has agreed to a $63 million settlement with the Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general from 17 states over alleged deceptive pricing. The lawsuit said customers were routinely charged more at checkout than prices shown online or in the company’s app. The agreement makes $40 million available to eligible customers and directs Family Dollar to establish a pricing accuracy program. Iowa will receive more than $49,200 for consumer education and litigation.
