Jay Collins, David Borrero want to crack down on Temu, Shein

Sen. Jay Collins and Rep. David Borrero have filed legislation seeking to protect consumers from bad actors in Chinese e-commerce and retailers from other countries of concern.

Those sellers have, in some cases, been found to peddle unvetted, potentially dangerous and sometimes counterfeit products into U.S. markets. The bills (SB 1090, HB 1023) specifically target the People’s Republic of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria, as well as any other nations “under significant control of such foreign country of concern.”

While not specifically named, the legislation targets Chinese discount retailers such as Temu and Shein.
