Instacart Settles With FTC for $60 Million
Instacart has agreed to a $60 million settlement with the FTC over deceptive advertising and subscription enrollment practices. The FTC alleged Instacart misled consumers about “free delivery” and refunds. Instacart denies wrongdoing, stating its policies are transparent. This settlement occurs amid a separate FTC investigation into Instacart’s pricing practices, which has previously impacted its stock. The FTC is actively pursuing companies with deceptive billing and subscription schemes.
