Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has made a form available on his office's website to report price gouging related to COVID-19.

The form can be found at ago.mo.gov/civil-division/consumer/price-gouging. There's also a banner on the ago.mo.gov homepage that directs consumers to the form.

The form asks specific questions relating to price points, if other sellers were also selling items at this price, where the incident occurred, if a sale took place and more. These questions will aid the Attorney General's Office's Consumer Protection Section in tracking down and investigating these complaints, Schmitt said in a Monday news release.

Price gouging can also be reported at the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-392-8222 and on the standard consumer complaint form at ago.mo.gov, but if possible consumers are urged to use the specific form if reporting price gouging.
