Schneiderman Says No Price Gouging After Harvey

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 30:  New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman speaks at a press conference announcing new guidelines and testing standards that GNC will adhere to for their herbal supplements and extracts on March 30, 2015 in New York City. After testing hermal supplements and extracts from various retailers last year and finding false ingredients in their products, the attorney general's office subpoenaed GNC and other providers to further investigate their products.

A consumer alert from State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office.  As predicted, we've seen a big spike in the price of gasoline since Harvey hit the Texas coast.  But, while he says some price increases can be expected, he won't stand for "excessive opportunistic increases."

GasBuddy.com says the average price for a gallon of gas in the Albany area is $2.67.  Statewide, it's $2.75.

Schneiderman says if you think you may be a victim of price gouging, you can call his office or fill out a form on his web site.
