Temu warned

The reasons for the warning were the lack of transparency in the high discounts shown and the unauthorised use of manipulative designs.

The Federation of German Consumer Organisations (vzbv) reports that it has issued a warning to the Chinese online marketplace Temu. Bild also reported on this. The reasons for the warning were the lack of transparency in the high discounts shown and the unauthorised use of manipulative designs. Consumers must be protected from such business practices, so the next step could be legal action. Contrary to the hopes of many VERE e.V. members, the warning apparently does not relate to the lack of registration of individual products in terms of extended producer responsibility (EPR) or shortcomings in the area of product compliance. According to reports, product piracy is also not part of the warning or legal action considerations.

Legally compliant product labelling is not only an indication of original goods. Various contact points for consumers generally advise against buying non-compliantly labelled products. As trade-e-bility has already informed you, compliant labelling serves to inhibit product piracy.
