House subcommittee hearing scheduled for 22 July will examine legislative proposals to strengthen consumer protections in online marketplaces, including restrictions on buy-now-pay-later schemes, subscription trap tactics, and counterfeit products. Proposals include restoring FTC monetary relief authority, requiring online marketplaces to notify users of recalled products, and implementing click-to-cancel rules for subscriptions.
