The Federal Trade Commission is investigating the ongoing supply chain issues plaguing companies nationwide and is asking top retailers, including Walmart and Amazon, to provide data on disruptive factors.

The news comes as the busiest shopping season is in full swing and consumers are often finding out-of-stock items and empty shelves at retail stores.

The federal agency is asking retailers for the impact of supply chain disruption from cancelled orders to price increases, according to a ABC News report.
