Friends,
Washingtonians are stepping up in these difficult times to help our communities. Unfortunately, however, some individuals and businesses are profiting from illegal price gouging on products essential for the health and well-being of Washingtonians, including N95 masks, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes.
Price gouging in the midst of a public health crisis is morally wrong. It’s also a deceptive and unfair business practice in violation of Washington’s Consumer Protection Act.
My office will continue to combat price gouging and help Washingtonians through this challenging time.
Best,
Bob
