Temu has been hit with multiple class-action lawsuits recently, with one of the latest developments involving allegations about unsolicited text-message marketing.
Latest: text-message class action
Two recent reports describe a class-action filed in the U.S. claiming Temu (via its holding company) sent marketing texts to people who were on the National Do Not Call Registry, allegedly in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaints were filed in the District of Massachusetts and the plaintiffs’ attorneys sought a jury trial.[1][2]
Other recent Temu class-action themes
Separate earlier reporting (from 2024) also describes data-privacy-related class-action allegations against Temu, including claims that its app loaded tools that could execute “malware and spyware” and misled users about data practices. There have also been broader reports about additional class actions (e.g., arbitration/privacy/data claims), but the most concrete “latest news” items in the sources I found focus on the text-message suit.[4][6][7]
If you tell me your country/state (or whether you mean the text-message case specifically), I can narrow this down to the most relevant filing and status details.
