The e-commerce platform Temu, operated by Chinese-owned PDD Holdings Inc., is facing an investigation by the European Union.
The European Commission will open proceedings to determine if Temu is not doing enough to prevent the sale of illegal products online.
If found to be in violation of EU regulations, Temu could face significant fines.
This investigation highlights the increasing scrutiny of online marketplaces and their responsibility to monitor product listings for compliance with legal standards.
