Consumer protection: After €200 million EU fine: What Temu now wants to change
Dangerous baby toys and unsafe charging devices: The EU Commission accused the Chinese online marketplace Temu of breaking EU law. In the future, consumers are to be better protected.
Temu has submitted proposals to the European Commission to improve consumer protection after being fined €200 million in May for failing to protect consumers from illegal products. The proposals include checking if its recommendation algorithms help spread illegal products and providing reliable data on its risk assessment. Temu has four months to implement the changes, and if it fails to comply, the Commission may impose daily fines.
The company was found to have sold products that failed safety tests, including hazardous baby toys and faulty chargers.
