Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has launched an
online tool to help Ohioans gauge the reputations of businesses and steer clear of those with problematic pasts.
The
Consumer Protection Lawsuit Search available now on the attorney general’s website lets consumers check if businesses and individuals have been sued by the State of Ohio for violating the state’s consumer protection laws.
The searchable database houses civil lawsuits and criminal indictments filed by the attorney general’s Consumer Protection Section and its Economic Crimes Unit since 2013.
