U.S. Regulators Target Shein, Temu Over Alleged Sale of Hazardous Baby and Toddler Products

Two members of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are urging an investigation into the safety practices of Chinese-owned e-commerce platforms Shein and Temu. The call follows reports that the platforms allegedly sell hazardous baby and toddler products. The commissioners seek to examine the platforms' product safety controls, third-party relationships, and consumer assurances. Both platforms have rapidly gained popularity in the U.S. by leveraging low-cost products and a trade loophole allowing duty-free imports under $800. Lawmakers have also scrutinized these platforms over safety concerns, forced labor allegations, and the exploitation of trade exemptions.
