The European Commission (EC) has preliminarily found that Chinese e-commerce platform Temu breached European Union rules by failing to properly assess the risks of illegal products being sold on its marketplace.

The EU’s executive branch stated on July 28 that its analysis of Temu revealed a high risk of EU consumers encountering illegal or noncompliant products.
