TP-Link Systems Inc. Issues Statement in Response to Attorney General Lawsuits

IRVINE, Calif. – October 6, 2026 – TP-Link Systems Inc., a global leader in networking and smart home solutions, today issued the following statement in response to the lawsuits filed by the Attorneys General of Florida, Montana, Iowa, and Nebraska. 

“The coordinated lawsuits are built on false premises. They do nothing to advance national security while unfairly penalizing an industry-leading U.S. company, confusing consumers, and potentially limiting their choices,” said Steve Kovsky, corporate affairs officer for TP-Link Systems Inc.

For months, California-based TP-Link Systems has provided state regulators with clear, verifiable documentation demonstrating two fundamental facts: TP-Link Systems devices sold in the U.S. are manufactured in Vietnam and TP-Link Systems is an independent, U.S. company that is not owned or controlled by the Chinese government or the Chinese Communist Party.

Any claims that our products present a threat to user security or grant unauthorized network access to foreign governments are baseless. TP-Link Systems is a U.S. company that complies with U.S. privacy and data protection laws. We perform comprehensive security testing and rely on trusted third-party security labs for additional scrutiny to ensure our products meet the highest security standards and are recognized as among the most secure on the market. We meet or exceed all industry best practices for monitoring and preventing vulnerabilities and actively support our customers to mitigate any issues that occur as they are identified. We do not, and will not, share customer network data with foreign governments or unauthorized third parties. 

“Coordinated lawsuits do not change the facts. We stand fully behind the security of our products, the integrity of our company and our people, and our commitment to serving the best interests of our customers in the United States and globally. We look forward to refuting these baseless allegations in court,” Kovsky said.
