The Federal Trade Commission sued John Deere, alleging unfair practices that hinder farmers' ability to repair their equipment.
These restrictions, according to the FTC, lead to increased repair costs for farmers, significantly impacting their livelihoods and harvests.
The lawsuit supports the 'right to repair' movement, advocating for consumers' access to necessary repair information and tools.
This action represents a significant step by the Biden administration to promote fair competition and affordable repairs for consumers.
