Consumer protection bill advances in House panel
A House subcommittee approved a sweeping consumer protection bill strengthening the Federal Trade Commission for the first time in 58 years. The measure expands FTC power to curb unfair and deceptive practices, broadens warranties on products costing $10 or more, allows class actions with per-person thresholds, and extends FTC authority to actions affecting commerce while enabling preliminary injunctions to halt deceptive activity.
