FTC asks Amazon, Walmart, others for information about supply-chain issues

The Federal Trade Commission has started an inquiry into recent supply chains disruptions and is ordering nine large retailers, wholesalers and consumer goods suppliers to provide the agency information.
The orders are being sent to $Walmart(WMT.US)$, $Amazon(AMZN.US)$, $The Kroger(KR.US)$, $Procter & Gamble(PG.US)$, $Tyson Foods(TSN.US)$, $The Kraft Heinz(KHC.US)$, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. and McLane Co., according to an FTC release. The companies will have 45 days from the date they received the order to respond.
The FTC is issuing the orders under a special section of the FTC Act, which authorizes the agency to conduct "wide-ranging" studies that don't have a specific law enforcement purpose.
The orders require the companies to detail the primary factors disrupting their ability to obtain, transport and distribute their products; the impact these disruptions are having in terms of delayed and canceled orders and increased costs and prices.
The FTC also is requiring the companies to provide internal documents regarding the supply chain disruptions.
