Summary

The European Commission has imposed a €200 million fine on Temu for violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA). Temu failed to properly identify, analyze, and assess the systemic risks related to illegal products on its platform and the resulting harm to EU consumers. Specifically, Temu's 2024 risk assessment was inadequate, relying on general e-commerce information rather than specific evidence, underestimating illegal item encounters (evidenced by safety test failures for chargers and baby toys), and failing to assess how its recommender systems and influencer programs could amplify these risks. This enforcement highlights the EU's commitment to ensuring very large online platforms comply with their obligations under the DSA.
