The European Commission fines Chinese e-commerce platform Temu €200 million for failing to properly identify, assess, and reduce systemic risks linked to illegal products sold through its marketplace. The regulator says its investigation found Temu exposed consumers to a high likelihood of encountering illegal items, including baby toys that allegedly do not meet safety requirements and chargers described as faulty or defective. The enforcement action is issued under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). Multiple outlets report that the Commission opened an investigation in 2024 and concludes Temu’s risk management measures were inadequate. The size of the penalty is consistently reported as €200 million, with some coverage converting it to roughly $232 million or other local currency equivalents. Temu responds by rejecting the fine, with at least one report saying it describes the penalty as disproportionate and does not reflect the current state of its systems and procedures. Other coverage highlights that, beyond any specific products, the decision is presented as a broader warning about compliance with DSA requirements for platform risk controls.
