"France has called upon the European Union to sanction the Chinese-founded fast-fashion retailer Shein, following a national uproar over "childlike" sex dolls listed on the online store. "The European Commission must take action," Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said in an interview with French public broadcaster France Info, arguing that Shein was "evidently in breach of European rules." "The [European] Commission has conducted certain investigations. It must now accompany them with sanctions," he added."
""The sale of childlike sex dolls is extremely concerning," EU digital spokesperson Thomas Regnier told reporters on Thursday. "We do not want to see these products being offered to European citizens." He added that the EU was currently not planning to block access to the online retail platform for Shein under the Digital Services Act an EU framework to regulate online services and protect user rights within the bloc."
France requested EU sanctions against Shein after "childlike" sex dolls were listed on the Shein marketplace. Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the European Commission must act and accompany its investigations with sanctions, calling Shein evidently in breach of European rules. The EU said it takes risks from illegal products on online platforms very seriously and will discuss potential next steps with French ministers. EU digital spokesperson Thomas Regnier described the sale as extremely concerning and said the bloc does not currently plan to block Shein under the Digital Services Act, viewing such a move as a last resort while assessing systemic risk.
