Contract Impact

In-house legal teams should review all vendor agreements with healthcare entities or business associates, particularly those involving mailing, printing, or data processing services. Key clauses to examine include data security obligations, HIPAA compliance requirements, breach notification procedures, protected health information (PHI) handling protocols, employee training mandates, and provisions requiring the appointment of security officers. Given the allegations of inadequate safeguards, contracts may need amendments to strengthen security measures (e.g., encryption, access controls), mandate regular risk assessments and audits, specify detailed breach response timelines, require documented employee training, and ensure alignment with HIPAA and state consumer protection standards.

Amazon

On August 31, 2026, New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the Division of Consumer Affairs joined the FTC and a bipartisan coalition of 21 other states in suing Amazon, alleging that for over seven years the company secretly rigged its advertising auctions—converting advertised 'second price' auctions into first-price auctions with hidden 'soft reserve price' surcharges—overcharging more than 500,000 small- and medium-sized businesses and extracting tens of billions of dollars. The complaint alleges Amazon actively concealed the surcharges, gave false and misleading answers to advertisers who asked directly about the auction format, and applied inflated upcharges on high-volume shopping days like Prime Day and Black Friday. The lawsuit was just filed; no penalties or remedies have been imposed yet.
