The European Commission today imposed a €200 million fine on Temu for violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The fine follows findings that the company failed to properly identify, analyse and assess systemic risks associated with illegal products on its platform, exposing EU consumers to unsafe goods. Evidence from a mystery‑shopping exercise showed high rates of safety failures in chargers and baby toys, while the company’s 2024 risk assessment relied on generic sector data rather than specific evidence. Under the DSA, very large online platforms must conduct diligent risk assessments and mitigate identified risks. Temu has until 28 August 2026 to submit an action plan, after which the Commission will issue a final decision. Non‑compliance could trigger further penalties.
