Missouri targets baby monitor company over China ties
The suit seeks up to $1,000 per Missouri consumer and says Lorex failed to disclose data transfers to China and alleged Chinese Communist Party ties.
- On Wednesday, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway sued Lorex Technology, alleging the company concealed ties to the Chinese Communist Party and secretly transmitted user data to China.
- Lorex was previously owned by Dahua Technology, a firm designated by the Department of Defense as a Chinese Military Company; Dahua remains involved in operations despite a sale to a Taiwanese entity.
- Hanaway seeks up to $1,000 in restitution for any Missouri resident who owned a Lorex camera in the last five years, with her office estimating total judgment could reach $2 million.
- Missouri joins Texas and Nebraska in suing the company over these connections, with experts noting the lawsuits primarily serve to support the elected officials who file them.
- Concerns over Chinese data collection in the U.S. have grown in recent years, drawing comparisons to the Trump administration's forced sale of TikTok operations by ByteDance to American investors.
