Amazon Accused of Pressuring Brands to Inflate Prices on Rival Marketplaces

California Attorney General Rob Bonta released unsealed documents Monday accusing Amazon of pressuring major brands including Levi Strauss & Co., Hanes and Allergan to inflate prices on rival online marketplaces as part of an alleged price-fixing scheme. The 2022 antitrust lawsuit alleges Amazon's agreements with vendors keep prices artificially high on competing platforms. Amazon controls an estimated 50% of the U.S. e-commerce market. The trial is scheduled for 2027.
