Quick Glance: Texas Man Sues Macy's and Sunglass Hut Parent Over Facial Recognition Wrongful Arrest
- A Texas man is suing Macy's and the parent company of Sunglass Hut for relying on error-prone facial recognition technology to falsely accuse him of an armed robbery.

- The lawsuit claims Essilor Luxottica relied on Macy's facial recognition tools to falsely identify Murphy in low-quality surveillance footage.
