Senators request FTC investigation into Instacart's dynamic pricing practices, citing potential consumer harm and competition violations.
Quiver AI Summary
Senators urge FTC investigation: U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker have led a group of colleagues in requesting that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigate Instacart's dynamic pricing practices. They cited concerns from a recent study indicating that Instacart presents significantly varied prices to different consumers for the same items, potentially violating the FTC Act.
Call for market study reopening: The Senators' letter emphasizes the need for the FTC to revisit its market study on surveillance pricing and evaluate whether new consumer protections are necessary. They argue that such pricing strategies may hinder competition, increase consumer prices, and encourage excessive data collection by companies.
Dynamic pricing implications: The study findings showed price discrepancies exceeding 20% for common products purchased simultaneously. The Senators warn these practices contradict free market principles and could lead to confusion and increased costs for consumers.
