(Reuters) – An administrative law judge dismissed a Federal Trade Commission antitrust complaint against tobacco company Altria Group (NYSE:MO) Inc. and electronic cigarette maker JUUL Labs Inc., the FTC said on Thursday.
The FTC’s April 2020 complaint alleged Altria and JUUL entered a series of agreements, including Altria’s acquisition of a 35% stake in JUUL, that eliminated competition in violation of federal antitrust laws.
