Europe warns giant e-tailer to stop cheating consumers
Briefly

The European Commission has issued a warning to Chinese e-tailer SHEIN regarding serious breaches of EU consumer laws. An investigation by the Commission and the Consumer Protection Cooperation (CPC) found that SHEIN's website employed misleading practices such as fake discounts, pressure selling tactics, and incorrect information on consumer rights. There were also concerns about deceptive product labels and misleading claims regarding sustainability. SHEIN has been given one month to address these findings or face potential fines from EU member states.
The Commission's investigation exposed several practices on SHEIN's platform, including fake discounts, pressure selling, and misleading sustainability claims that breach EU consumer laws.
The CPC has warned SHEIN to comply with EU regulations regarding consumer rights, product labeling, and misleading marketing tactics, giving the company one month to respond.
