Operation of former deck construction company puzzled by lawsuit filed against the business

WARREN — The operator of the former deck construction company Deck Creations says she doesn’t understand why the Ohio Attorney General’s office filed a complaint in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court against her company.

Susan Hixson said Deck Creations, formerly of 1530 Ohltown McDonald Road in Mineral Ridge, has repaid the money to three of the four customers who filed complaints with the attorney general’s office and has made arrangements to repay the money to the fourth within a couple weeks.

“I don’t know where he is coming up with this,” Hixson said of Attorney General Richard Cordray.

Cordray filed suit Monday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court seeking an injunction, penalties and a declaratory judgment for what he said were violations of Ohio’s consumer protection laws.
