PARIS (AP) — France’s government said Wednesday it has started a procedure to suspend access to Shein’s online marketplace until the company proves that its content conforms with French law, after authorities found firearms and sex dolls with childlike features listed for sale on the fast-fashion giant's website.
The Finance Ministry said the government made the decision after officials found “large quantities” of illegal weapons, including firearms, on Shein's popular e-commerce platform Wednesday. The ministry said if prohibited items remain, authorities may suspend the site in France.
