Home Depot has entered a stipulated judgment of nearly $2 million to settle a civil complaint that alleged the company took part in false advertising and unfair competition practices, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office said. The complaint alleged Home Depot regularly charged customers higher prices than its advertised or posted prices.
The stipulated judgment prohibits Home Depot from advertising falsely and charging an amount greater than the lowest price posted for an item. Home Depot will be required to implement and maintain a Price Accuracy Program, which includes additional price and employee training, and prohibiting price changes on weekends when employees responsible for changing price tags are usually not working, according to Price's office.
