Using names such as “junk fees” and “drip pricing”, these laws create new litigation risks for companies. This episode covers the new statutes as well as FTC regulations, application in common scenarios, pending litigation claims, all to better understand how businesses and those who advise them can avoid these lawsuits. SharkCast host Kent Schmidt interviews Dorsey attorneys Matt Ralph and Alex Hake on these issues, including what these developments mean for class action risks.
