Shein Faces EU Pressure to Curb Sales of Sex Dolls and Weapons

Shein is under pressure from the European Union to curb sales of childlike sex dolls and weapons on its third-party marketplace after French authorities reported the products earlier this month.

Regulators said Wednesday they asked the e-commerce giant for detailed information and internal documents on how it ensures that minors are not exposed to age-inappropriate content and how it prevents the circulation of illegal products. On the same day Shein won a brief reprieve in France from efforts by the government there to suspend its operations.
