Dyson has unveiled its first oral care device, the CameraJet toothbrush, which uses an onboard camera scanning teeth 28 times per second to detect debris and spray targeted mouthrinse to clean between them. Priced at $499, it requires a proprietary nonfoaming toothpaste and will launch in September through Sephora, Best Buy and Amazon. Founder James Dyson said the six-year project stemmed from frustration with dental visits rather than any market analysis.

The FTC and attorneys general from 22 states filed suit against Amazon, alleging the company secretly altered its ad-auction pricing after bids closed, extracting over $20 billion in extra charges from roughly 1.2 million advertisers since 2018.

Amazon has rejected the allegations, saying the government misunderstands how advertisers set bidding strategy.
