Safety regulators are urging the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to investigate the ultracheap e-commerce platforms Shein and Temu. In a statement published<\/a> Tuesday,<\/a> two CPSC commissioners say Shein and Temu \u201craise specific concerns,\u201d including reports that \u201cdeadly baby and toddler products are easy to find on these platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The statement cites last month\u2019s report from The Information<\/em><\/a>, which highlights some of the dangerous products sold on both sites. That includes padded crib bumpers on Temu that have been banned in the US, as well as children\u2019s drawstring hoodies on Shein that the CPSC considers a strangulation hazard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

CPSC commissioners Peter Feldman and Douglas Dziak say the safety agency should evaluate how Shein, which is headquartered in Singapore, and the China-based Temu comply with the Consumer Product Safety Act. The probe would determine how far these platforms fall outside the CPSC\u2019s reach, as well as look into the Chinese manufacturers that make the majority of goods on Shein and Temu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThird-party sellers, domestic and foreign, are proliferating on online platforms,\u201d the commissioners write. \u201cThis form of commerce can benefit consumers and sellers in many ways, but CPSC must make clear its expectations regarding these platforms\u2019 responsibilities to ensure safety.\u201d The Verge<\/em> reached out to Shein and Temu with requests for comment but didn\u2019t immediately hear back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
