The European Union has imposed a €200m ($232m; £173m) fine on Chinese-owned online retailer Temu for having illegal products such as dangerous baby toys and faulty chargers for sale on its platform.

The European Commission said the company had "failed to diligently identify, analyse and assess the systemic risks" of the products and the harm they could cause to consumers.

Temu has been under investigation since October 2024 over whether it has been meeting its obligations as a designated Very Large Online Platform under EU law.

The online retailer said it disagreed with the decision and deemed the fine disproportionate, and was now considering available options.

The investigation involved a mystery shopping exercise carried out by an independent testing organisation, which found that a high percentage of chargers purchased through Temu failed basic electrical safety tests. It also found that a high proportion of baby toys posed safety risks, containing chemicals above legal limits or featuring small detachable parts that presented suffocation hazards, Euronews reported.

As well as paying the fine, Temu has to present an action plan to address the failures by 28 August. The Commission then has two months to decide whether the company has done enough to comply.

EU tech commissioner Henna Virkkunen told reporters that the decision was intended to send a "very strong message" to Temu.

"Temu respects the objectives of the Digital Services Act and the need for clear, consistent rules across the digital economy. However, we disagree with the ​European Commission’s decision and consider the fine to be disproportionate, We are reviewing the decision carefully and considering all available options." said Temu in a statement.

But the UK consumer organisation praised the decision and urged the UK to follow suit.

"The EU's decision to fine Temu to the tune of €200m is a strong example of the tough action needed to hold online marketplaces to account for dangerous products on their platforms," said Sue Davies, head of consumer protection policy.

"The UK government should follow the EU's example and make use of its new powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act to make online marketplaces legally responsible for dangerous products."

The fine is only the second imposed under the EU's Digital Services Act for content, the first being a €120m penalty against Elon Musk's X social media network last December.

Everywhere may look calm and normal one minute, but just wait until it is time for Ariya, that moment dedicated to singing and invoking the spirit, and you will see ordinary people transformed before your eyes.

People you were just greeting casually will suddenly begin to speak mysteries and deliver messages from a realm beyond them. You will see people vibrating in a different rhythm, and their dance steps will begin to carry movements that look almost angelic.

A little research will inform you that Africa had received the gospel of Christ before entire Europ ever did. You may not like Christianity and that's fine, but dont insult Africa. Britain didn't introduce or bring Christianity to Africa.

Was Christianity used as a religion to exploit Africa, a 100% Yes.

Doing drugs in Thailand is a death sentence. So bro ain't coming back except any of his family will be available to bring back his dead body after so many years he will be on death row before his execution.

What I don't understand is how this people still take drugs to a country were they make it so clear through every means that drug dealing is a death sentence. It is all over social media and even at their airports, it is pasted everywhere. What a shame

Sorry I mean no offense but Nigerians are realising and are porting to glo don't be left behind not even recently,last year a colleague purchased a new glo sim and had to hotspot about several androids devices we did a lot of streaming and downloading with the allocated 75gb not even for a second did the speed blink
Just to confirm the speed test and rumours about lagging that was when I knew some of the news about glo network lag is all propaganda get a glo sim today and testify.

...Nigerians we deserve better and whom we entrust our resources with matters choose wisely this is a beckon call....

...Previously it circulated that glo Nigeria had poor network coverage and I think certain elements was used to push that propaganda however recent investment and infrastructural developments across the federation have made their transmission faster both data and calls investing billions of dollars....

...Mind you this is not promotional content it's not financially motivated it's for we Nigerians to stay woke and realise the truth.
This post is driven by PATRIOTISM....

....Chidinma adeshina was born in South Africa and was citizen by birth but the director of SA department Of Home Affairs wanted to jail her for nationality fraud....

...Citizens of other countries cannot leave SA because it's one of the very FEW working countries on the continent
If Nigeria, for instance, is working, what would a Nigerian be looking for in South Africa?

While some reports allege that the victim was already dead by the time she was untied; some others say she was rescued alive and was rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention....
