Now it’s time for Temu to take its obligations under the DSA seriously and conduct thorough, evidence-based risk assessments to protect users and the public from harm.

The Commission continues to engage with Temu to ensure compliance with the decision and with the DSA.
This enforcement decision follows a thorough investigation, which revealed that Temu failed to adequately identify, analyse, and mitigate the systemic risks of illegal products, like unsafe chargers and baby toys, being offered on its platform.
Illegal products have no place in the European market.
Protecting European consumers from harm is a top priority for the European Commission. That's why, today, we are taking decisive action against Temu and issuing a fine of € 200 million under the Digital Services Act.
Authorised MSS systems will provide secure governmental communications and innovative commercial services across all EU countries under the same conditions, helping to reduce regulatory fragmentation.
