14 Jan 2026 Whaleco Technology Limited (Temu)Temu: almost 6 million PLN over changing reference prices and discount labelling PolandMisleading advertising and pricing €1.4m

The operator of the Temu interface omitted the 30-day lowest price or stated it incorrectly, labelled promotions inconsistently and changed reference prices from day to day without the actual price changing. UOKiK imposed a fine of 5,910,900 PLN; the decision is not final.

What organisations can take from it

Reference prices that shift daily without any real price change are a misleading staging of discounts.
