A lawsuit filed last week against Amazon, that included complaints of potentially misleading price listings on its website, has been settled. Amazon agreed to pay $2 million in penalties to Santa Cruz, Alameda, Santa Clara, Yolo, San Diego, and Riverside counties.

Along with the monetary penalties, the stipulated judgment reached Wednesday, requires Amazon to make revisions to its pricing disclosures.
