Temu accepts EU plan to combat illegal products
The European Commission has accepted an action plan from the Chinese e-commerce platform Temu to address non-compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA). This follows a €200 million fine imposed on the company in May 2026 after regulators found that Temu had failed to adequately assess risks to European consumers.
The approved plan includes five key measures: conducting platform-specific risk analyses, using reliable metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of illegal content reduction, assessing the limitations of content moderation mechanisms, analyzing how recommendation algorithms might amplify illegal products, and investigating deliberate manipulation by sellers to promote illicit goods.
Temu has four months to implement these changes and must submit an interim risk assessment covering a six-month period ending November 30, 2026. The Commission’s investigation previously highlighted safety concerns following test purchases, noting that many chargers failed basic safety tests and a high percentage of baby toys exceeded chemical limits or posed choking hazards.
