A bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general recently secured a $7 million multistate settlement with Greystar — the nation’s largest landlord — in ongoing antitrust actions tied to the use of RealPage’s algorithmic pricing software, requiring Greystar to curb use of tools that leverage nonpublic data to recommend rents and cooperate with continued litigation against other landlords while the states press forward in parallel actions. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, this highlights heightened state antitrust scrutiny of algorithmic pricing and data-driven competitive practices across industries, reinforcing that enforcement can continue even after related federal or class action resolutions.

In a landmark settlement announced this week, Tyson Foods agreed to stop marketing its beef products as “climate-smart” or promising “net-zero by 2050” unless those claims are first verified by an independent expert. The agreement — resolving a consumer-protection lawsuit brought by Environmental Working Group (EWG) — prohibits Tyson from making or repeating such environmental claims for the next five years unless they rest on substantiated science.
For companies, the takeaway is clear: sustainability and climate-related marketing must now meet a high bar. Legal, compliance, and marketing teams should scrutinize such claims for evidentiary support and be ready for third-party verification — even in the absence of regulator-driven enforcement.
