The European Commission has raised serious concerns about online marketplace Temu, accusing it of breaching key consumer protection rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
In a preliminary finding issued Monday, the Commission said Temu failed to properly assess the risks of illegal or non-compliant products being sold on its platform, putting millions of European consumers at risk.
Temu, the Chinese e-commerce platform, which is winning the hearts of many online shoppers with free shipping, now faces a possible fine of up to 6% of its global annual turnover, according to a statement released by the European Commission.
