French Court Requires Shein to Verify Age for Adult Toys

A Paris court has mandated Shein to implement age verification measures for adult products sold on its French site, imposing a €10,000 fine for non-compliance. This ruling follows outrage over childlike sex dolls available on the platform and comes amid efforts by French authorities to enhance oversight of third-party products. While the court rejected a government request to suspend Shein’s website, the company pledged to improve its control processes. France is also pushing for broader EU investigations into Shein and similar platforms.
