China-based global online fashion platform Shein has been embroiled in controversy over selling adult dolls with an appearance reminiscent of children.

Shane responded by announcing "We have permanently blocked all seller accounts related to adult dolls that are illegal or in violation of regulations, and we will strengthen our standards of care across our platform."

According to The Sun and other foreign media, the French Consumer Protection Surveillance Agency (DGCCRF) expressed strong concern over the weekend, pointing out that some adult dolls posted on Shane's website have the nature of child pornography.




Shane then said it had temporarily closed its current adult-use product category and removed all related images and product listings. It also added that it has tightened its keyword blacklist to prevent sellers from attempting to circumvent regulations.

"The fight against child exploitation is an irreconcilable value for Shane," said Donald Tang, Shane's president. "The product is registered by a third-party seller, but is taken very seriously personally." He stressed that "the source of the problem is being traced, and prompt and decisive action will be taken against those responsible.'

The French prosecutor's office in Paris said it had received reports of child-like adult dolls being sold on several online platforms, including Shane, AliExpress, Temu, and Wish, and had requested an investigation to an agency in charge of preventing violence in minors.




Meanwhile, the incident occurred just before Shane opened his first brick-and-mortar store at a department store across from Paris City Hall, and protests erupted locally ahead of the store's opening.
