It has come to my attention that some people are buying their yarn from temu. This could be dangerous as they are known to use chemicals that can be very harmful to both the workers in the factory and people using their products. These are often illegal in the countries they export to. They are also highly suspected of modern slavery,and steal artists designs to sell. They also use ai image generation for many or their products,particularly to create unrealistic products to scam people. This may not affect you, but someone with sight issues or dementia or anything like that could easily be duped,particularly as AI gets better at image generation every day. They are known to sell crochet items, crochet cannot be done with a machine meaning they are using human labour.This may not sound bad at first but with their poor reputation for treatment of workers, this points to likely many overworked and underpaid individuals who could easily develop permanent injuries. This is the same with SHIEN too and SHEIN has been repeatedly found to have the same issues and has caused dangerous situations through lack of care packaging,I will not go into this research it yourself. I can’t control what you do but remember:If it seems too good to be true it probably is.
I plan to post this on every temu related post,I know it will be annoying but I think it’s important

Yeah,SHIEN in particular looks like a genuine ethical company,I’ve always been much more suspicious of temu from when it first came out though and just got more suspicious over time…
