Overview

  • Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu launched a formal process to suspend Shein in France pending the platform’s proof of full compliance with national laws.
  • Officials have not specified whether the action would cover Shein’s website, its newly opened Paris store at BHV, or both.
  • France’s consumer watchdog reported that the platform carried sex dolls with childlike appearances, prompting government scrutiny.
  • Conservative lawmaker Antoine Vermorel-Marques filed a legal complaint after saying he identified weapons offered for sale on the site.
  • Economy Minister Roland Lescure and SME Minister Serge Papin will deliver an initial progress report within 48 hours, while Shein says it formed an integrity panel, launched an internal inquiry, and temporarily removed some products for the French market.
