Lawsuits seek to stop TikTok ’s harmful practices and impose financial penalties on the social media company.

Lawsuits allege TikTok violated state laws by falsely claiming its platform is safe for young people.

Many young users are getting injured, hospitalized, or dying because of dangerous TikTok “challenges” that are created and promoted on the platform.

The Kia Challenge , videos that show users how to hack the ignition to start and steal Kia and Hyundai car models, has led to thousands of car thefts.

TikTok also violates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a federal law designed to protect children’s data on the internet.

The lawsuits seek to impose financial penalties, including disgorgement of all profits resulting from fraudulent and illegal practices.
