Overview
- France will file judicial complaints against AliExpress and Joom for allegedly selling child‑appearing sex dolls, expanding action previously launched against Shein.
- Paris judges are examining the government's case against Shein, with authorities set to request at least a three‑month suspension of the platform in France.
- The urgent hearing tied to a potential suspension of Shein was postponed to December 5 after late filings in the case, according to local reports.
- The European Commission has requested information from Shein on measures to block illegal products and protect minors, warning it could escalate if it confirms systemic risk.
- Shein says it is cooperating with the EU request, while AliExpress stated that the flagged listings have been removed, and the Commission has urged national probes of sellers in serious cases.
