The Federal Trade Commission, led by Republican commissioners, dismissed a lawsuit against PepsiCo that accused the company of unfair price advantages for Walmart, citing the rarely enforced 1936 Robinson-Patman Act. The lawsuit was filed under the previous Democratic-led commission, which was supported by Chairwoman Lina Khan, who later resigned.
