Dec 12 (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Trade Commission:

SUED TO BLOCK HENKEL AG & CO. KGAA, MANUFACTURER OF LOCTITE BRAND CONSTRUCTION ADHESIVES, FROM ACQUIRING LOCTITE’S MAIN COMPETITOR, LIQUID NAILS

ENFORCEMENT ACTION SEEKS TO LOWER COST OF HOUSING FOR AMERICANS BY PROTECTING U.S. CONSUMERS FROM PAYING HIGHER PRICES FOR MATERIALS TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN HOMES
