Attorney General Russell Coleman Files Lawsuit Against Temu
KENTUCKY, JUL 17 – Kentucky's lawsuit alleges Temu illegally collects user data, shares it with the Chinese government, uses forced labor, and sells counterfeit products from iconic Kentucky brands.
- Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman initiated a lawsuit against the Chinese e-commerce platform Temu, filing the case last Thursday in the Woodford County Circuit Court.
- The lawsuit alleges Temu illegally collects users' data without consent, allows access to the Chinese government, steals intellectual property, and uses forced labor.
- Temu, owned by PDD Holdings, was the most-downloaded U.S. app in 2023 and allegedly counterfeits Kentucky brands like University of Kentucky and Churchill Downs.
- Coleman warned that the platform poses a serious threat by compromising the technology of Kentuckians, accessing their sensitive information, and transmitting it to the Chinese government, and he committed to a robust response to protect residents.
- The lawsuit suggests Temu's practices erode trust in Kentucky brands, potentially causing job losses and economic hardship in the state.
