6:44 am
local paper offering a water heater for $445. >> it was the 40-gallon, nine year, just exactly what i was looking for. when i phoned them up, i told them that i had seen the ad and the fellow said yep, we've got them. so he drove to sears. the clerk pulled out the water heater. william pulled out his wallet and then the problem. >> he rang it all up and the amount that he came up with was way more than the ties the 70 -- what the advertised price was. >> about $150 more so william pointed to the newspaper ad. the clerk looked up the model number and said the heater in the ad is illegal in california. >> i'm looking at the flyer. it says you have had. you called and you said you had it. i came down and now you say you can't sell it to me because it isn't allowed in california. >> william said it seemed unfair to advertize a product that
6:45 am
couldn't be sold. sears said it was a national ad, not a local ad, and it wouldn't give him another model at the same price. >> i thought about it for a while and i thought maybe finney can help me. >> so we checked it out. sure enough, there are pollution standards for water heaters in california similar to those for cars and factories. near the bay area the air quality management district has regulation 9. it bans the sale of water heaters that emit too much nitrogen oxide, a gas linked to acid rain and global warming. sears said the heater in the ad doesn't meet those standards. so we asked why was it offered on sale in sears said we want to apologize for any inconvenience caused to him as a result of our water heater ad. the ad's disclaimer was inadvertently omitted, causing the confusion for the customer. sears did sell william this low emission, 40-gallon water heater for just $445, the same price as the one in the ad. >> that's what we were looking for, so everything worked out great. >> abc7's legal analyst dean johnson said retailers generally are not obligated to give customers a sale price that's offered due to a mistake in the

advertisement. in this case omitting that disclaimer. we thank sears for stepping up and offering that sales price. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. stern grove here in san francisco begins it's 75th season of free outdoor customer concerts tomorrow. the grove at 19th avenue and sloat is an institution in an unrivaled setting. don sanchez shows us what a to expect. >> the san francisco ballet is a regular at the stern grove festival. ♪ >> so too the san francisco opera and the similar than any symphony orchestra. for 75 years the stern grove festival has offered free con seventies in this outdoor amphitheater. they pack 14,000 people in here. it goes from classical to pop. ♪ >> anita baker opens the program on sunday.
