U.S. sues to stop Electrolux's purchase of GE's appliance business


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States filed a lawsuit on Wednesday aimed at stopping Electrolux AB from buying General Electric Co's appliance business, the Justice Department said in a statement.

    The department said that the deal would hurt competition, and consumers, by combining two of the top makers of stoves, cooktops and ovens.
