Nebraska AG Sues Resideo Over Alleged Deception on China-Linked Security Cameras
The state seeks fines, refunds, clearer disclosures under consumer-protection laws.
Overview
- The lawsuit, filed Monday in Lancaster County District Court, claims Resideo/ADI sold cameras tied to Hikvision and Dahua without disclosing U.S.-identified security risks.
- Attorney General Mike Hilgers says the products were promoted as safe and secure despite the manufacturers’ inclusion under the NDAA and on the FCC Covered List.
- Nebraska asks the court for injunctive relief, civil penalties, consumer restitution, and changes to advertising and labeling.
- The complaint also alleges Dahua-made devices were sold under Resideo’s Capture brand after federal restrictions took effect without revealing their origin.
- Resideo did not respond to requests for comment in the coverage, and the filing follows a similar September case against Lorex that observers say could spur wider industry changes.
