The European Commission has imposed a €200 million fine on the Chinese e-commerce platform Temu for failing to adequately identify and mitigate the risks of illegal products being sold on its site.
Key points
- The investigation, initiated in October 2024, found that many items, including baby toys and chargers, failed to meet EU safety standards.
- The sanction was issued under the Digital Services Act (DSA), a regulation governing large online platforms.
- Temu is required to submit a compliance plan by the end of August to avoid further potential penalties.
- This is the second fine issued by the EU under the DSA, following a €120 million penalty against X in late 2025.
Why it matters
This enforcement action highlights the EU's commitment to holding major international e-commerce platforms accountable for consumer safety and regulatory compliance under the Digital Services Act.
