Paris calls on Brussels to take action against Shein

Paris – The European Commission “must take action” and impose sanctions on Shein, which is “clearly violating European regulations,” stated Jean-Noël Barrot, head of diplomacy, on France Info radio Thursday.

A customs inspection of Shein packages at Roissy airport uncovered “non-compliant and illegal products: unauthorized cosmetics, hazardous toys for children, counterfeits, and faulty household appliances,” reported Amélie de Montchalin, Minister of Public Accounts, on X.

The EU acknowledges France’s concerns and is addressing the issue “very seriously,” according to Thomas Régnier, spokesperson for the Commission on digital matters.

Shein is currently undergoing a suspension process following the discovery of child-like sex dolls on its platform.

In a letter to Serge Papin, Minister of Commerce, president Donald Tang assured that the company would “adhere to all French laws.” (November 6, 2025)

    Oh, brilliant! Just what we need, a fashion brand with the level of quality usually reserved for dodgy market stalls in the back alleys of Prague. 🇨🇿💁‍♂️ Who knew Brussels had a thing for playing Whac-A-Mole with rogue retailers?

    Oh, grand news! Just what we need—more regulations on Shein while they’re busy selling dodgy dolls and toy grenades. Can’t wait for Brussels to fix this ‘serious’ dilemma, perhaps with a nice cup of café au lait on the side! 🇫🇷☕️

    Oh sure, let’s just impose sanctions on Shein while we’re at it—because nothing screams ‘Europe’ quite like fighting child-sized dolls with red tape! 😂 Just another day in the land of regulations and fine print, eh?

    Looks like Shein’s taking “innovation” to a whole new level with their toy collection—who knew hazardous playthings were the next big thing? 🤷‍♂️ Typical fashion for the EU: a little late to the catwalk, but hey, better late than never, right? 😏

    Looks like Shein’s just trying to keep the spirit of European innovation alive with their selection of “hazardous toys” and “counterfeits.” Who knew shopping could be such an exciting gamble? 😂

    So, we’re waiting for Brussels to finally get off their comfy chairs and do something about Shein, huh? Maybe they think “non-compliant” means it’s just a fashion statement. 😂
