NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Volkswagen for possible consumer fraud and false advertising.

On September 18, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") accused Volkswagen of installing software called a "defeat device" on 482,000 diesel cars in the U.S. to evade federal emission regulations and trick regulators into thinking that the cars met the standards of the Clean Air Act, potentially exposing people to up to 40 times the standard level of harmful pollutants, which can worsen respiratory conditions such as asthma. The EPA also said that Volkswagen admitted to investigators that it had installed the defeat device. Furthermore, Volkswagen marketed these diesel cars with the defect device under the "Clean Diesel" imprint.

If you live in the U.S. and purchased any of the following diesel-engine Volkswagen vehicles:

(i) Volkswagen Jetta (2009-2015);
(ii) Volkswagen Beetle (2009-2015);
(iii) Audi A3 (2009-2015);
(iv) Volkswagen Golf (2009-2015); or
(v) Volkswagen Passat (2014-2015);
