The FTC declined to comment on the report.

In July, the commission announced it would increase law enforcement efforts against manufacturers who imposed repair restrictions on businesses, government agencies, workers and consumers.


McDonald’s doesn’t believe it’s under investigation


In a statement, McDonald’s USA said it had no reason to believe it was the focus of an FTC investigation.

«Nothing is more important to us than delivering on our high standards for food quality and safety, which is why we work with fully vetted partners that can reliably provide safe solutions at scale, the statement said.

McDonald’s said it understood the frustrations surrounding the broken ice cream machines and was instituting several solutions, including new training for workers and regular maintenance checks on the machines.
