The French government moved to bar Shein’s online sales in France and referred the company to the Paris prosecutor after investigators found sex dolls resembling children on its platform. Economy minister Roland Lescure said he would seek to block the site if the company continued selling the items, calling them illegal. Shein said it removed the listings but did not respond to a request for comment. The discovery intensifies backlash as Shein prepares to open a first physical store at Paris’s BHV Marais and plans more boutiques, prompting protests, brand pullouts and criticism of SGM’s billboards.
