Tertiary-line injury occurs when a discriminatory price is passed along from a secondary-line buyer to a retailer. This type of price discrimination occurs when a manufacturer or primary-line seller offers different prices to different secondary-line buyers, who then sell the product to the same group of customers at different prices. The customers who buy from the secondary-line buyer who paid the higher price are disadvantaged compared to those who buy from the secondary-line buyer who paid the lower price. This is known as the tertiary-line injury.
