The FTC, California Attorney General, and 11 other states have filed lawsuits to block the merger of PlayPower and BCI Burke, citing antitrust concerns that the deal would reduce competition and increase prices in the US commercial outdoor playground equipment market.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tightening US regulatory stance on mergers in public sector supply markets. If you supply playground equipment, you need to reassess competitive positioning as regulators block consolidation to protect school and municipal customers.
