Companies that can't back up claims that their products are made in the U.S. could face hefty penalties from the Federal Trade Commission.

A U.S. judge formally admonished Amazon.com on Thursday for withholding documents from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in a lawsuit accusing the e-commerce giant of deceiving customers of its paid Prime service.

The FTC has an "unequivocal basis" to investigate the transgender medicine industry, Commissioner Mark Meador says.

Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson opened the workshop, titled "The Dangers of 'Gender-Affirming Care' for Minors," and in his remarks said that the agency will issue a request for information in the near future on gender-affirming care, emphasizing that the workshop was "not about politics."

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday called on Amazon.com and Walmart to crack down on third-party sellers that make deceptive "Made in USA" claims on the retailing giants' online marketplaces.

Henry Liu, former director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Competition under the Biden administration, has returned to Covington as a partner and co-chair of its global antitrust and competition law practice group.

With the possibility of rising prices due to tariffs, "Made in USA" claims are set to become an attractive selling point for various brands and retailers. To shine a brighter light on these American-made products, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently designated July as "Made in the USA" month.

The FTC is also weighing in on the broader issue and says the Consumer Review Fairness Act protects a person's right to leave a review.
