New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella, along with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 16 other state attorneys general, has sued Amazon.com, Inc. alleging that the company uses anticompetitive and unfair strategies to illegally maintain its monopoly power. The complaint accuses Amazon of preventing competitors from growing and new ones from emerging, stifling competition on price, product selection, and quality, and overcharging sellers. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction to prohibit Amazon from engaging in its alleged unlawful conduct and to restore competition.
