"The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) said descriptions for the products on the Shein website "make it difficult to doubt the child pornographic nature of the content." The French daily newspaper Le Parisien said the product in question an 80 centimeter (30 inch) tall doll holding a teddy bear was accompanied by an explicitly sexual description on the Shein website. The consumer watchdog said it had turned the case over to prosecutors."
"'Boundaries have been crossed' French Economy Minister Robert Lescure on Monday said "boundaries have been crossed" before announcing he would seek to have Shein banned from doing business in France if similar incidents occur in the future. The DGCCRF also noted that Shein sells other pornographic products, including adult-sized sex dolls, without effective age-filtering measures to prevent "minors or sensitive audiences from accessing such pornographic content.""
The DGCCRF identified product descriptions on Shein that "make it difficult to doubt the child pornographic nature of the content," citing an 80-centimetre doll pictured with a teddy bear and an explicitly sexual description. The consumer watchdog referred the matter to prosecutors. Economy Minister Robert Lescure said "boundaries have been crossed" and warned he would seek to ban Shein from the French market if similar incidents recur. The DGCCRF warned that Shein sells other pornographic items without effective age filters. Shein's France spokesperson called the content unacceptable and pledged immediate corrective measures; the company has paid fines earlier this year.
