The European Commission has fined Temu €200 million (approximately $232 million) for violations related to illegal product sales on its e-commerce platform. The commission determined that consumers are likely to encounter illegal items on Temu, which breached the Digital Service Act (DSA) by not adequately identifying and assessing the risks associated with illegal products. The investigation into Temu began in October 2024, and a preliminary ruling issued in July 2025 indicated that the platform was not sufficiently preventing illegal products from being sold.
