Democrats want the FTC to look into the Amazon-iRobot agreement

“iRobot is a strong market incumbent, and Amazon, with its massive resources, history of developing smart vacuums… and powerful platform, is an incredibly substantial ‘possible entrant’ into the market,” the legislators stated on Thursday.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) spearheaded the letter, which was co-signed by four additional House members, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who represents thousands of Amazon employees in Seattle.
