The Paris Court of Appeal on Thursday rejected a government request to halt part of online retailer Shein’s operations in France for three months, upholding an earlier ruling that deemed the move disproportionate. The French government has been seeking to suspend the Chinese site since a watchdog flagged listings for illicit products, including weapons, banned medications and childlike sex dolls.
The court ruled that the suspension was not justified because Shein had already removed the products from its platform.
