AliExpress Hit With Record €625 Million Fine for Ignoring EU Safety Orders
Ars Technica·Tuesday, 21 July 2026
The European Union fined AliExpress €625 million — the largest fine ever under the EU's Digital Services Act — for failing to remove unsafe toys and dangerous cosmetics from its platform after being ordered to do so. AliExpress said it was shocked by the fine. The DSA is a major EU law that forces big online platforms to police harmful content and products.
Why It Matters
Millions of Indian shoppers and sellers use AliExpress and similar cross-border platforms. This fine signals that regulators worldwide are getting tougher on e-commerce giants that don't remove dangerous products.
