A US lawmaker is investigating the Federal Trade Commission's collaboration with European authorities to prevent a potential merger between Amazon and iRobot. The probe focuses on the efforts made by the FTC to work with European regulators in blocking the merger deal.
The inquiry comes amidst concerns about the impact such a merger could have on competition in the market. Amazon, a major player in the e-commerce industry, had expressed interest in acquiring iRobot, a leading company in the robotics sector known for its popular Roomba vacuum cleaners.
