European Union (EU) regulators are asking the Chinese e-commerce retailer Shein to provide internal documents about the risks related to illegal content and products on its platform, the bloc’s executive commission announced on Feb. 6.
The new request follows the European Commission’s announcement of a joint investigation into Shein to determine whether it has violated the bloc’s consumer protection laws. The commission stated that the latest request does not interfere with the ongoing probe, which is being carried out in coordination with national consumer watchdogs.
