There’s no doubt Temu is a platform that sells cheap stuff.
Cheap as in inexpensive, and cheap as in poorly made.
That, however, doesn’t fully explain what’s going on in this from TikTok user @mikaylarenfroe:

A set of pink cookware is getting bent into taco shapes one by one.

Guess they’re not built to last?
@mikaylarenfroe I’ve officially fallen victim to Temu. Got me 🤣😭
To be fair, they’re very stylish.
I don’t think they’ll take them back like this.
Why even bother?
But there were a few helpful tips:
The thing is, because of the shape, a lot of metal cookware is actually not that hard to bend.
Give it a quick search on your platform of choice and you’ll see plenty of folks doing it with different brands.
It’s not so much a failure of the product as it is putting it through a completely unnecessary stress test.
