The International — European Commission>>> has fined Chinese online retailer Temu>>> €200 million for failing to adequately assess and mitigate the systemic risks of illegal products being sold on its platform, in violation of the Hitachi — Hitachi Digital Services>>>. The fine follows an investigation that found a high likelihood of consumers encountering illegal items, including dangerous baby toys and defective chargers, on Temu>>>. Henna Virkkunen>>>, a top EU tech regulator, stated that Temu>>>'s risk assessment was inaccurate and lacked specificity. Temu>>> has until August 28, 2026, to submit an action plan to address these issues. Temu>>> has expressed disagreement with the decision, calling the fine disproportionate and asserting that its systems have since been strengthened. This marks the second fine under the Hitachi — Hitachi Digital Services>>>, following a penalty against X (social network)>>>.
