Lawmakers are questioning Temu over allegations of forced labor and unethical supply chain practices, raising significant concerns about its labor rights and sourcing ethics.

A BBC investigation and an MP's warning have raised serious concerns that products sold on Temu may be manufactured using forced labour, exposing ethical shortcomings in its supply chain practices.

The report criticizes Temu's reliance on a third‐party monitoring system and its vague code of conduct, raising serious concerns over its labor and supply chain ethics.

Temu, the Chinese e-commerce platform, is under scrutiny for selling products in the U.S. that are linked to forced labor practices in Xinjiang, China.
