That's pathetic, just a tax. Punishment for bad choices should hurt them.

I just don't understand why such companies can still sell in the EU after such severe safety violations.

Man I see this all the time about Temu and I recently bought a set of toys for my kid on there and then threw them away after a friend told me to look it up online about them being toxic and hazardous.

Don't they have rules for this kind of thing? I see Amazon do it a lot too with shit that has lead and stuff in it.

I just don't get it. Take their business license if they don't follow the rules. Why don't they do that?
