Possible Import Ban on Video Devices

The recommended relief as issued on December 20, 2024, targets articles imported, sold for importation, and/or sold after importation by Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon.com Services LLC.
Potential Cease-and-Desist Orders Against Amazon

The Commission is soliciting public interest submissions about the effects of such cease and desist orders on public health and welfare, U.S. competition, domestic production of like articles, and U.S. consumers.
