Overseas retailers flood Australia with unsafe products

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Millions of products are flooding into Australia from overseas retailers like AliExpress and Temu, raising serious safety concerns. The EU has fined AliExpress $900 million for selling illegal products, while Australia's consumer watchdog faces limitations in enforcing penalties that may be too low to deter these companies. The Australian government has announced an inquiry into the country's product safety framework, including whether penalties need to be significantly increased from thousands to millions of dollars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
