Don't take the job, if offered. Resign, if you took the job.

When you are being interviewed, it isn't the best time to call someone out. Point out the "error" in a gentle way.
"Really, I was informed it was ....... do you mind if we find out which is the case? I don't want to make a mistake."
also, consider that - depending on the position you were interviewing for - some interviewers will try to trick you to see how you deal with both false information and the manner with which you handle it.

If you know for a fact it's false information then ask to speak with their supervisor, explain the false statement told to you and request a reason for lying to a perspective employee.
If they give you a crap answer then tell them that you wouldn't work for a company that can't be honest and tell them that you will be reporting their actions to the Dept. of Labor.
This may not get a rise out of them but follow through with it, you could be saving someone else from a bad work environment.

If you accepted the job, you can quit. What exactly did the person lie about? Hard to give an answer when we don't know the full details.

If you don't say anything, you tacitly acknowledge the lie and become an accomplice.
You need to state the facts that you know, without an accusation.... Simply say:
"Based on ___________(what I read, what I was told, the statistics, my horoscope, etc.) it is my understanding that _________(women lie more than men, the chicken does not cross the road, etc)."
And just see what reaction you get.
Maybe the interviewer didn't mean to lie and was just genuinely mistaken about what he/she said.
But you can only find out if you bring it up.

If you can't trust the company you're applying for, then don't take the job. Remember that you are also interviewing them, to see if what they offer fits your needs.
Good luck!

I think I'd need more information and context about what the lie was and how it occurred before I can venture a legal opinion.

Lied to about what? Just because somebody lied to you it doesn't mean you have been damaged or you have a legal right to compensation.

Go to personnel and make a complaint. It is completely unacceptable.

Nope, not unless you got the job and had the info in writing by them.
