An investigation may be launched against Shein and Temu for dangerous products
The two heads of the US consumer protection authority, Peter Feldman and Douglas Dziak, are urging an investigation into the e-commerce platforms Shein and Temu after finding dangerous baby and toddler products on the websites.
Reuters reports that commissioners have raised concerns and are asking the agency to scrutinize whether these foreign platforms, such as Singapore’s Shein and China’s Temu, are following the rules, particularly in how they handle their relationships with third-party sellers. and the quality of imported products.
Commissioners will focus on the issue of the “de minimis rule,” which allows packages worth up to $800 sent directly to customers to be duty-free. Critics say the rule makes it easier for Shein and Temu to succeed in the United States and gives them an advantage over other players in the market.
The issue has already attracted the attention of US lawmakers, who last year planned a bill to abolish the de minimis rule, which is used by several large e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Walmart.
