Acorn International Could Face Lawsuit Over Product in August

TV home shopping network Acorn International has appealed to a Beijing court to dismiss a false advertising lawsuit being filed against the company. Hebei resident Li Lun claims that an Acorn-produced ad for a video player that aired on CCTV falsely represented the product, which he purchased. Li sued the two companies, along with the product's producer, in Beijing on May 10. Over 140 consumers that purchased the same product have contacted Li asking to join Li in his suit. The court said that it will make a decision on the case two months later, meaning the case would not open until August. Acorn is scheduled to list on Nasdaq this year and the company is currently in its silent period.
