07:21 AM EDT, 09/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com ( AMZN ) and three of its executives will be under trial in Seattle from Tuesday over claims by the US Federal Trade Commission that the e-commerce giant deceived millions of Prime customers by signing them up without their knowledge and locking them in with complicated cancellation methods, Reuters reported Tuesday.

The company could be forced to pay damages worth hundreds of millions of dollars as well as fines of up to $53,000 per violation. The trial is expected to last about a month and feature testimony from customers as well as Amazon ( AMZN ) employees, according to the report.

The company has denied wrongdoing by itself or its executives and has said that Prime's terms are clearly disclosed, with several means to cancel, according to the report.

Amazon ( AMZN ) didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
