Huge problem with Temu and Shein products discovered
Authorities in Seoul recently inspected 144 products from Shein, Temu, and AliExpress and found toxic substances at levels far higher than legal limits, AFP reports.
One product — a pair of shoes sold by Shein — was found to contain high levels of phthalates, which are used to increase the flexibility of plastics. One pair contained concentrations 229 times above the legal limit.
