House panel calls Bezos to testify over Amazon allegedly misleading Congress:

Jeff Bezos is being called to appear before the House Judiciary Committee about his company potentially having made misleading statements about its business practices. At issue is a report from April 23 that detailed how Amazon would use data from third-party sellers to develop and sell its own products.

The committee's request, sent out in a letter on Friday, builds on its current investigation into Amazon's "role in the digital marketplace." While it expects Bezos to agree to appear on his own, the group reserves "the right to resort to compulsory process if necessary."

[...] Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the House committee's Friday letter to Bezos.

    Fair enough, but some of the name brand products are just the bargain bin stuff with a logo on it.
    There are plenty of anecdotes from factory workers where the difference between one brand and a store brand is the box they drop the product into or the label that gets wrapped around the jar/can.
