The attorney general's office says the retail chain launched a national sale in June advertising Coca-Cola 12-packs for $3, but consumers at 117 Wal-Mart stores in New York were routinely charged $3.50.Investigators say consumers who complained were falsely told the state has a "sugar tax." They say the markup of more than 16 percent violated two laws.They say Wal-Mart ran a similar sale in March, and 66,000 12-packs of Coca-Cola have been sold in New York at an inflated price.The settlement requires Wal-Mart to pay over $66,000 in penalties and costs and improve internal reporting. 4951
