An executive order issued by Gov. Newsom this week, prohibits sellers of baby formula from charging a price 10% greater than the price they charged back on February 17, it comes as the nationwide formula shortage continues.
SAN DIEGO — An executive order issued by Governor Gavin Newsom this week, prohibits sellers of baby formula from charging a price 10% greater than the price they charged back on February 17, it comes as the nationwide formula shortage continues.
Now both the San Diego County District Attorney and San Diego City Attorney's office are warning they will be going after price gougers. Violators could face hefty fines and even up to six months behind bars. Ankcorn said in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, they received hundreds of complaints reporting price gouging on hard-to-get items, but he said investigators learned many businesses were also dealing with higher prices.
Both the DA's office and City Attorney's office say they have not yet received any complaints of suspected formula price gouging locally, but they're encouraging people to report anything suspicious.
