Summary
The company failed to diligently identify, analyse, and assess the systemic risks of illegal products being offered on its platform and the resulting harm to consumers in the European Union. The evidence at the disposal of the Commission indicates that consumers in the EU are likely to encounter illegal items on Temu. Temu's risk assessment of 2024 falls short of the standards laid out in the DSA:. It is based on general information about risks concerning the eCommerce sector as a whole, rather than on specific evidence about Temu's own service, including public reports and testing.
