Wal-Mart Faces Suit Over Sale of Hearing Aids in Texas

It sounds as though Wal-Mart should have listened a little more closely to state law before deciding to jump into the Texas hearing-aid market. The retailer is being slapped with a federal class-action lawsuit by members of the Texas Hearing Aid Association for selling the hearing devices without a state license. Not only does the group want Wal-Mart to stop selling hearing aids, but it wants the court to order all of Wal-Mart's prior profits from the sale of them returned.
