Shein faces RICO and anti-trust lawsuits, Congressional scorn



Fast fashion behemoth Shein had a second federal civil lawsuit filed against it in a week as rival down-market retailer Temu filed an anti-trust action in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts.

The Temu lawsuit alleges that Shein used monopolistic powers to keep the rival out of the ultra-fast fashion marketplace, violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act as well as other torts.

“Having controlled nearly the entire market in ultra-fast fashion in the U.S. between early 2020 and Temu’s entry in late 2022, Shein was and is a monopolist,” the lawsuit says. “Shein has attempted to maintain its monopoly by means of its anticompetitive scheme, desperate to avoid the robust competition Temu brought to the market.”
