    WARNING: Temu & Shein Selling Hazardous Products – What Shoppers Need to Know

    European regulators have issued serious warnings about hazardous products being sold on Temu and Shein, including carcinogenic nail polish, flammable children’s pyjamas, and toxic slime. Reports reveal that children’s shoes and clothing from these platforms contain dangerous levels of lead, cadmium, and phthalates—chemicals linked to cancer.

    Authorities in the US, South Korea, and Malta have recalled multiple items, while investigations show that Temu also sells uncertified electronics in South Africa without regulatory approval. Despite claims of strict safety controls, these platforms continue to face scrutiny over product safety violations.

    Shoppers are urged to exercise caution and verify product safety before making purchases.
