Following raft of consumer complaints, Shein and Temu face early EU scrutiny of DSA compliance - TechCrunch

Quick Summary:

The EU’s RFIs highlights areas where the two marketplaces are facing early DSA scrutiny — and could prefigure the opening of formal investigations if the bloc’s enforcers deem they’re falling below the legal standard for consumer protection.

Still, with these early RFIs the Commission looks keen to be on the front foot when it comes to assessing those future reports — and also keen to be seen responding swiftly to what are already widely raised consumer protection concerns.

The two marketplace have been subject to the regime’s general rules since mid February but were recently designated as so-called very large online platforms (VLOPs) under the DSA, back in April and May respectively, further amping up their regulatory risk as Commission enforcers joined in the oversight.
