The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is distributing over $2.7 million to eligible consumers who were financially harmed by gig economy company Handy Technologies. These payments address the company's deceptive claims regarding the potential earnings for workers on its platform.

The FTC's action aims to provide restitution to individuals impacted by Handy Technologies' misrepresentations. This initiative underscores the commission's commitment to consumer protection in the evolving gig economy landscape.
