"Bonta wrote that Amazon asked the apparel brand Levi's to pressure Walmart into raising the price of a pair of its khaki pants from about $25 to $29 to match Amazon's listing price."
"Bonta asked the court to take action against Amazon for price fixing while the case proceeds and to require Amazon to stop coercing its vendors to serve as the go-between with its competitors."
"Amazon is consistently identified as America's lowest-priced online retailer, and we're proud of the low prices customers find when shopping in our store."
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has accused Amazon of illegally raising prices through price fixing and collusion with vendors. Evidence includes a memo where Amazon allegedly pressured Levi's to increase prices to match its listings. Other companies mentioned include Home Depot, Target, and Best Buy. Bonta seeks court action against Amazon to stop coercive practices while the case proceeds, set for trial in January 2027. Amazon claims the motion is a distraction and defends its pricing as the lowest in the market.
