Babies R Us has been sued by two discount retailers
who claim the chain has fixed prices of popular baby gear items according to an
article in the NJ Star
Ledger.
We’ve heard these complaints for
quite some time—discounters allege that BRU has demanded baby gear makers have
“minimum advertised price” policies. The effect is to stop discount web sites
from selling certain popular items like Britax car seats at prices below a set
minimum.
We’ll give you updates on this
case as we hear them!
