EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products

Why there is a difference between selling and allowing to sell? If the product is sold in your site, you must be responsible of it.

Isn't this being held responsible for it?

Isn't there some kind of law to disallow imports without a CE / RoHS / etc label? Why allow it to enter the EU, and then fine the seller afterwards?

Are you suggesting opening every package to check for a CE? I think fining after the fact is how those laws are enforced.

They add fake labels, this has been happening for a long time

I am very pro free market, but Temu with data harvesting and selling illegal projects should be banned together with tiktok...

It seems like quite a light punishment for selling such dangerous products that could literally kill people. The dodgy e-bike batteries have already been linked to several fires.

bigclivedotcom takes apart some of the Temu stuff on YouTube and some of the electronics is atrocious.
