The French government will ask a Paris judge to approve a three-month suspension of Shein’s website after weapons and sex dolls resembling children were listed on the platform by third-party sellers, a finance ministry official said on Nov. 25.
Access to the retailer’s online marketplace was suspended earlier in November after the dolls were discovered for sale. The Nov. 5 suspension was to allow Shein to demonstrate that all of its content is compliant with French laws and regulations, according to the French Ministry of Economics and Finance.
