Shein Says France Suspension Case Is Political Overreach

Shein, the online fast-fashion retailer, said the French government was overreaching in its attempt to suspend the platform by capitalizing on a political furor over sales of a childlike sex doll and weapons.

A lawyer for Shein, Kami Haeri, argued that the government’s request for a three-month suspension was “disproportionate” as the company had removed the items from its third-party marketplace after being reported by authorities in November.
