TP-Link faces US lawsuits over router security claims

TP-Link is under legal fire in the US, with Florida and three other states suing the company for allegedly misleading consumers about the security of its routers and ties to China. The lawsuits claim TP-Link violated consumer protection laws by asserting its routers were safe, despite risks of exploitation by Chinese state hackers. The legal actions come as TP-Link also grapples with an FCC ban on US sales of its latest routers, with the company unable to secure an exemption. TP-Link denies the allegations, asserting it is a US-based company and its devices are manufactured in Vietnam.
