PARIS (Reuters) -Chinese online retailer Shein said on Monday it imposed a full ban on sex dolls on its marketplace and temporarily delisted the "adult products" category after French consumer watchdog spotted childlike sex dolls two days ago.
France's Directorate-General for Competition, Consumer Affairs, and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) had said late on Saturday it spotted the dolls on the website along with several other pornographic items such as adult-looking sex dolls, and had reported the matter to judicial authorities.
