EU fines Temu €200 million over illegal product sales

The European Union fined Chinese online retailer Temu €200 million on Thursday after regulators found the platform failed to stop the sale of illegal and dangerous products to consumers across Europe. The penalty marks the largest fine issued so far under the EU’s Digital Services Act, which requires major online platforms to assess risks linked to their services and take steps to limit harm to users. European Commission officials said Temu failed to properly identify and address the risks tied to products sold through its marketplace.
