The EU wants Shein and Temu to provide information by July 12. Photo: Stefani Reynolds / AFP/FileSource: AFPThe EU on Friday demanded wildly popular shopping platforms Shein and Temu explain what action they are taking to protect consumers, including children. The European Commission said it wants to know what action the Chinese-founded platforms have taken to make sure users can notify them about illegal products. In May, Europe's BEUC umbrella consumer rights group filed a complaint against Temu with the European Commission, accusing the app of using "manipulative techniques". Shein, a Chinese-founded company which is headquartered in Singapore, has said it has around 108 million monthly active users in the 27-nation EU.
