LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Online retailer Temu has offered a response two days after being sued by the state of Arkansas.
In a response sent to FOX 16 News Thursday, a Temu spokesperson said the company was “surprised and disappointed” by Attorney General Tim Griffin filing the lawsuit Tuesday without what the company called “any independent fact-finding.”
In a statement released by Griffin’s office announcing the suit, the AG referred to Temu as “functionally malware and spyware,” and claimed the app was “purposefully designed to gain unrestricted access to a user’s phone operating system.”
Temu’s response stated that the allegations behind Griffin’s suit were “based on misinformation circulated online, primarily from a short-seller, and are totally unfounded.” The statement went on to say that the company would “vigorously defend ourselves” in the case.
