Patrick Ta Beauty sues CVS over unauthorized sales
Cassandra CampbellEditor
Patrick Ta Beauty sued CVS and distributor Akstrom Imports on October 14 in the Southern District of California, saying they sold its products outside its approved stores. CVS declined to comment. The claims are unproven.
Why it matters
Like Shiseido's case against Shein, it turns on who gets to sell a brand and where. Products sold outside approved stores can be harder to trace back to the brand.
