Will they appear at the trial? The heads of Shein-France have a court date in Paris on Friday. They are accused of having illegal products – such as weapons or sex dolls modeled after minors – in their online catalog. The objects have now disappeared from the offer, but an official investigation has also revealed other problems: eight out of ten “fast fashion products” on the Chinese sales platform violate French standards, regulations or even laws. The public prosecutor’s office is asking the court to suspend the accessibility of the Shein website in France for three months. However, trade experts believe such a sanction is excessive.
