Wish built its business as a marketplace for ultra-cheap goods from independent sellers and drew sustained criticism for poor-quality and counterfeit goods — the same discount-marketplace model now under active state AG lawsuits and FTC scrutiny for Temu and Shein elsewhere in this tracker (counterfeit goods, malware allegations, mass-arbitration strategies). Wish got there first and drew similar counterfeit/unsafe-product criticism years before its newer competitors became household names.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass — standard binding arbitration + class action waiver expected.
Data sharing
Same general discount-marketplace risk category as Temu/Shein documented elsewhere in this tracker (counterfeit goods, data practices scrutiny) though no Wish-specific lawsuit was independently confirmed this pass — Wish predates Temu/Shein's rise and has faced its own scrutiny over counterfeit/unsafe products — e.g., in November 2021 French authorities had Wish delisted from Google search results and Google's French app store over non-compliant products (it returned in March 2023); in February 2024 parent ContextLogic agreed to sell Wish's operating assets to Singapore-based Qoo10 for $173 million.
