Facts

The Commission said Temu's 2024 risk assessment relied on generic sectoral information rather than service-specific evidence; mystery shopping found safety issues in chargers and baby toys.

Compliance lessons

Platforms must use their own testing, complaints, recalls, trader sanctions, and recommender-system data to prove risk identification and mitigation, not only sector-level risks.
