Brussels fines Temu €200M under the DSA for unsafe baby toys and faulty chargers
The Temu fine, the second-ever DSA penalty after X’s €120M in December, gives the EU’s online-safety regime its first major Chinese-platform enforcement case.
The European Commission has fined Temu, the Chinese e-commerce platform owned by PDD Holdings, €200m (roughly $232m) under the Digital Services Act for failing to prevent the sale of unsafe products to European consumers.
The Commission’s investigation found that a high proportion of chargers tested from the platform failed basic electrical-safety standards and that a meaningful share of baby toys posed medium to high safety risks, including chemicals above EU legal limits and small detachable parts that pose suffocation hazards.
The fine is the second major DSA enforcement action ever issued, after the European Commission’s €120m fine against X in December 2025.
