Temu's heavy reliance on third-party sellers can significantly impact the quality control of its products. Since Temu operates as a marketplace connecting sellers with consumers, it may not have direct oversight or control over the manufacturing processes or product standards set by these third-party sellers. This lack of direct involvement in the production process can lead to inconsistencies in product quality, authenticity issues, and potential safety concerns for consumers. Additionally, some sellers on Temu may prioritize cutting costs to offer lower prices, which could result in substandard products being sold on the platform without proper quality checks.
