But western brands can be sued or made liable with fines when a house burns down, which force them a minimum level of caution or risk-assessment when designing and selling their product. A random Chinese drop-shipper that vanish into smoke cannot, so all we can do is force the distributor take that responsibility in their place.

So Temu should be sued if a house burns down from a generic-brand e-bike that they imported and took money for.

How much money do you think is in the import companies that import the same crap and sell it to retailers? In Sweden you can have the company have 2500 usd in assets and sign all the papers. 2.5k won’t even cover the cost of the lawyer filing in court.
