Apple Targeted in Consumer Protection Probe
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the latest tech company to face unwanted legal attention. The tech giant is now the target of a multi-state probe involving potential consumer protection violations.
This information was revealed as part of a public records request obtained by the Tech Transparency Project, which was first reported by Axios. The request revealed a letter from the office of the Texas Attorney General (OAG) stating that Apple may have violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
This Act encompasses a wide range of violations, and the letter did not spell out specific infractions. However, it did state that the office "anticipates litigation in this matter."
