Attorney General Nessel Sends Cease, Desist Letter to Menards for Price-Gouging

Michigan’s attorney general sent a cease and desist letter to Menards after receiving complaints about price-gouging.

Attorney General Dana Nessel says her office has received 18 complaints about Menards selling face masks, bleach and other products at high prices.

The attorney general’s office says investigators found the store doubled the price of cleaning products like bleach and raised the price of face masks while tying their purchase to an in-store rebate.

According to Nessel, Menards will have 10 days to respond to the letter or the attorney general will further investigate and possibly take legal action.

Due to the high number of complaints related to COVID-19, Attorney General Nessel has extended hours of operation for her Consumer Protection intake team, making phone lines available until 11 p.m.

Michigan residents are urged to or by calling 877-765-8388.
