The proposed order, released Monday, will be printed in the Federal Register and subjected to a 30-day comment period, after which the FTC may decide to accept it and make it final or withdraw from it.
The agency highlighted the inclusion of Drizly CEO James Cory Rellas in its proposed order for his role in presiding over the company’s alleged security failures.
