California Attorney General Rob Bonta Amazon price fixing lawsuit

Filed in 2022 and headed to a January 2027 trial, the complaint says vendors lost Amazon's Buy Box for selling cheaper elsewhere.

California filed the case in 2022; trial in San Francisco Superior Court is set for January 2027.
Vendors who let rivals sell for less risked losing Amazon's Buy Box or being delisted.
Attorney General Rob Bonta: Amazon 'blatantly worked to ensure consumers could not find cheaper products' elsewhere.

Why it matters: A vendor threatened with delisting sets a rival's price for a company that never touched that sale.
