Ch 4 9pm The Truth about Temu

Any cheap shops will source their stock from the same manufacturers as TEMU uses. B&M, Homebargains,Poundland etc sell for similar prices with identical items.

I was having coffee last year with another GN member wearing a beautiful cardigan that she bought from Temu.

I bought a jumper and a cardigan and they are beautifully made. I have looked at M&S's clothes and they are made in countries where slave labour is rife and they appear to get clothes a lot cheaper from those countries as they keep changing.

I’ve never heard of them

Temu doesn’t physically manufacture anything itself it is a marketplace

I did see a precis of the programme earlier and there was much concern surrounding the level of lead in jewellery and some children’s items.

Haven’t purchased anything from them and no intention of doing so.

I have never ordered from Temu and never will - Thrift+ is my goto for cheap clothes.

Temu has always seemed shady to me - high heels for 78p?
No way they are made in a sustainable and responsible manner.

Dreadful and people don’t care the conditions people are working in

Hopefully it will highlight what this awful company are really doing. I understand they often sell at a loss in the hope of knocking out Western competition. Plus I never feel confident that they’re not using slave labour.
