"Recent media reports that deadly baby and toddler products are easy to find on these platforms," noted Commissioners Peter A. Feldman and Douglas Dziak, highlighting the dangers posed by these e-commerce sites. They emphasized the growing concern of compliance with U.S. safety regulations as thousands of Chinese factories supply goods to Shein and Temu, which have rapidly gained popularity due to their affordable prices. This influx requires careful examination of safety standards.
Commissioners also pointed out the importance of understanding the enforcement challenges posed by foreign sellers, stating, "To the extent a platform falls outside the Commission's reach, policymakers must understand where gaps exist and how best to address them." This underscores the need for regulatory mechanisms to ensure that imported goods meet safety standards, especially when distributed through platforms with minimal U.S. presence.
