An investigation into fast-fashion retailer Shein is underway in France after sex dolls with childlike features were allegedly found for sale on their online marketplaces, according to reports.

Per Reuters, the probe followed outrage from French Finance Minister Roland Lescure, who said he wanted to ban Shein in France for allowing the sale of these products.

Lescure warned on social media that access to the SHEIN platform could be "banned from the French market." His threat came days before Shein is set to open its first physical store in Paris.

On Tuesday, Reuters also reported that several retailers, including Shein, were being investigated for alleged rule breaches, including minors being able to access pornographic content on their marketplaces, according to Paris officials.
