In Federal Trade Commission v. Amazon.com, Inc., Case No: 2:14-cv-01038 (U.S. District Court, W.D. Washington, complaint filed July 10, 2014), the Federal Trade Commission sued Amazon.com for allegedly permitting children to collectively incur millions of dollars in purchases on their parents’ credit cards without their parents’ knowledge or consent while playing mobile apps. The lawsuit seeks a court order requiring Amazon.com to refund unauthorized charges. It also seeks to prevent the company from billing account holders for in-app charges made without their consent.
