Joint declarations were filed to courts in Chicago and Boston by lawyers representing the companies and their subsidiaries, requesting that two legal cases be dismissed"without prejudice" by their judges. Shein's lawsuit against Temu, filed last December in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleged that Temu told social media influencers to make disparaging remarks about the fast-fashion retailer, and tricked customers into downloading the Temu app using"imposter" social media accounts.
Temu's complaint alleged Shein"forces manufacturers to sign loyalty oaths certifying that they will not do business with Temu."The two companies have shaken up the global retailing landscape with an ultra-fast fashion, low-price shopping model.
