Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing TP-Link over claims that the router-maker is misleading customers about its ties to China. Though TP-Link markets its routers and other products as “Made in Vietnam,” Paxton alleges that the company sources “nearly all” of the components used to manufacture these items from China. “The reality is that TP-Link continues to operate its supply-chain deep inside of China, with China’s support, and through Chinese exports,” the lawsuit claims. Texas alleges that TP-Link violates consumer protection laws by misrepresenting its products as “secure,” despite having alleged vulnerabilities, and misleading customers about its affiliation with China. The Texas lawsuit against TP-Link is part of the state’s broader efforts to crack down on Chinese companies.
