United States of America: Texas Attorney General filed lawsuit against Lorex over alleged deceptive trade practices

On 19 February 2026, the Texas Attorney General filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Collin County against Lorex Corporation and Lorex Technology, alleging violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The complaint alleges that Lorex marketed baby monitors and home security cameras as safe, private, and secure, yet failed to disclose that components were manufactured or supplied by Zhejiang Dahua Technology, a company designated by the United States government as a Chinese Military Company and included on Texas's Prohibited Technologies List. The Texas Attorney alleges that Lorex concealed material information regarding its operational links to Dahua, potential exposure to obligations under the National Intelligence Law of the People's Republic of China and known security vulnerabilities associated with Dahua components. The legal action being pursued seeks a temporary and permanent injunction, civil penalties of up to USD 10'000 per violation, and corrective disclosures to consumers in Texas.
