EU Demands Temu Explain Steps Against Illegal Product Sales

The European Commission intensifies scrutiny of Temu under the Digital Services Act, seeking clarity on consumer protection measures.

The EU has requested detailed information from Temu about its efforts to prevent illegal product sales on its platform.
Temu must respond to the European Commission's inquiries by October 21, 2024, or face potential formal investigation.
The requests focus on Temu's systems for identifying and mitigating risks from illegal traders and protecting consumer data.
Consumer protection groups have previously raised concerns about Temu's transparency and compliance with EU regulations.
Temu, a rapidly growing Chinese ecommerce platform, claims to prioritize consumer safety and is cooperating with the EU's demands.
