¡¡¡¡New York's Attorney General has fined three Amazon sellers and ordered them to pay restitution to customers for marking up the price of hand sanitizer amid the COVID-19 pandemic.According to a press release from the office of New York AG Letitia James, the three sellers agreed to pay back a combined ,000 to customers who purchased the overpriced hand sanitizer and also agreed to pay ,500 in penalties, fees, and costs.James' office says that the three Amazon sellers ¡ª Northwest-Lux, Mobile Rush and EMC Group, Inc ¡ª sold hand sanitizer online at a substantial markup in February and early March when the coronavirus began to arrive in the U.S.At that time, hand sanitizer had quickly disappeared from store shelves as stores weren't prepared for skyrocketing demand. According to James' office, that's when the three Amazon sellers began selling sanitizer online at an enormous markup.The Attorney General's office says Northwest-Lux charged customers as much as 0 for a 2-liter bottle of hand sanitizer that typically sells for . The press release says Mobile Rush charged up to for an 8 0z. bottle of Germ-X ¡ª which typically sllls for about . EMC was selling eight packs of Purell for up to ¡ª a price increase of up to .James's office says that customers who purchased the overpriced items will receive restitution, which will be applied directly to their credit or debit cards."Price gouging on necessary consumer supplies during an unprecedented public health emergency is absolutely unconscionable and will not be tolerated," James said. "Instead of ensuring individuals could protect themselves from the coronavirus, these businesses operated with dirty hands by charging exorbitant prices on hand sanitizer and other cleansing products. My office will continue to clean up this unlawful practice by using all of the tools at our disposal to prevent price gouging during this pandemic."James' office isn't alone in fighting COVID-19 price gouging. Earlier this year, Amazon suspended the accounts of thousands of sellers for price-gouging related offenses, including one man who chose to donate his excess supply of hand sanitizer to a local church and the state of Tennessee. Others have been prosecuted for hoarding N95 masks and other personal protective equipment. 2312
¡¡¡¡NEW YORK ¡ª In a blistering rebuke of President Donald Trump, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the sitting president the worst "in history" from a New York vantage point after a report emerged that the president signed a memo ordering the federal government to begin the process of defunding New York City and other cities where protests have broken out and crime has increased.Federal agencies were told by the administration to send reports to the White House Office of Management and Budget to details funds that can be redirected away from New York City; Washington, D.C.; Seattle and Portland, the New York Post reported."President Trump has actively sought to punish NYC since day one," Cuomo said in a tweet. "He let COVID ambush New York. He refuses to provide funds that states and cities MUST receive to recover. He is not a king. He cannot 'defund' NYC. It's an illegal stunt."New York City gets more than billion annually from the federal government, according to a 2017 report from city's comptroller.Cuomo, in a Wednesday night conference call, said it was personal for Trump."New York City rejected him ¡ª always," Cuomo said. "He was dismissed as a clown in New York City."He said the Trump administration has done everything in their power to hurt New York City, citing a lack of funding or action for the Second Avenue Subway, the LaGuardia AirTrain, congestion pricing and, of course, the coronavirus pandemic."The best thing he did for New York City was leave," Cuomo said. "Good riddance."This comes at the same time as Congress squabbles over providing financial assistance to state and local governments in a coronavirus relief bill. The city government is currently dealing with a budget shortfall that could result in the dismissal of 22,000 municipal workers.In addition to condemnation from Albany, City Hall criticized the president's actions."As much as Donald Trump wants New York City to drop dead, we will never let this stand," a spokesperson for Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "This has nothing to do with 'law and order.' This is a racist campaign stunt out of the Oval Office to attack millions of people of color."In March, Trump threatened to withhold law enforcement grants from New York, and other sanctuary cities like it. At the time, Mayor de Blasio warned the cut would affect budgets for law enforcement and other first responders. Now, with the city reeling from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, that impact could be even worse.It's a threat that dates back to 2016. At the time, the first page of Trump¡¯s ¡°100 -day action plan to Make America Great Again¡± said Trump would cancel federal funding to sanctuary cities ¡°to restore security and the constitutional rule of law.¡±A 2017 analysis from City Comptroller Scott Stringer found that about 10 percent of the money the city spends each year to keep residents healthy, safe and informed comes from the federal government.A request for comment has been left for the White House Office of Management and Budget.While it's likely that the president's memo will lead to a complex legal discussion, Cuomo was more succinct."President Ford said 'drop dead,'" Cuomo said of the infamous Daily News front page from 1975. "President Trump has actively been trying to kill New York City ever since he's been elected."This article was written by Corey Crockett and Aliza Chasan for WPIX. 3381
