Alibaba to Work with CPSC to Prevent Exports of U.S. Recalled Products
In addition to blocking illegal sales, Alibaba, which operates sites as a platform for third parties, will create access points on its business-to-business platform that will provide U.S. importers with the country's safety standards.
"With an increasing number of companies and consumers taking their business online, Alibaba's decision to implement these new policies is a victory for U.S. consumers and their safety," Kaye said in a statement. "The company's forward-leaning approach in this regard will help prevent dangerous and recalled products from being passed on to unsuspecting consumers."
