Overview
- Shein asked to postpone its Dec. 2 National Assembly appearance, citing the Paris tribunal hearing now scheduled for Dec. 5 at the State’s request.
- The company says it will participate in the commission’s work but argues any testimony should follow the court’s decision on the case.
- This would be the third time Shein declines to appear, after earlier scheduling shifts tied to the judicial timeline.
- Commission president Sandrine Le Feur is keeping the Dec. 2 convocation and has indicated she may refer a no‑show to the public prosecutor.
- The State is seeking a three‑month suspension over listings for childlike sexual dolls and category A weapons, and earlier government pressure led Shein to remove flagged items and pause its French marketplace and non‑apparel sales.
