KY AG: Report Price Gouging Due To Virus

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is urging Kentuckians to report information regarding price gouging in the wake of coronavirus fears.

In response to the first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus in Kentucky, Governor Andy Beshear issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency, and activating the Commonwealth's price-gouging laws.

"Our consumer protection hotline exists to ensure that Kentuckians are not harmed by predatory pricing," said Attorney General Cameron.  "We will not tolerate businesses or individuals taking advantage of our citizens, and I encourage Kentuckians to immediately contact the hotline if they encounter suspected price gouging."

Kentuckians should report suspected price gouging to the Consumer Protection Hotline at 888-432-9257.
