A Paris court blocked France's bid to ban Shein over adult products, ordering age checks instead.

A Paris court has rejected the French government’s request to suspend Shein’s website over childlike sex dolls and other illicit items, calling a three-month ban disproportionate. The court ordered Shein to implement age verification for adult products on its French site, with fines up to €10,000 for noncompliance. The company had already removed the items and paused its adult product sales globally. The government plans to appeal, citing systemic risks, while France pushes the EU to investigate Shein under online platform rules.
