00:02The European Commission hit Chinese online retailer Temu with a 200 million euros fine on Thursday.
00:09The EU investigation found the e-commerce giant didn't do enough to protect consumers from illegal products.
00:17Temu reaches 130 million consumers in the European Union.
00:22But the company has not properly assessed the risks of illegal products being sold on its marketplace.
00:30What products are we talking about?
00:32Dangerous toys for kids, small electronics without proper label, clothes and jewelry containing harmful chemicals, to name just a few.
00:41Preliminary findings last year revealed Temu was exposing consumers to dangerous products such as harmful baby toys and faulty chargers.
00:50The bloc issued the penalty under the Digital Services Act, or DSA, a rulebook that requires online platforms to protect
00:58Internet users from harmful content or dodgy goods.
01:01Temu did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
