Shein bans sex dolls

10-11-2025 07:00

Shein is a big online store. It stops selling sex dolls and adult things. People in France are very angry because some dolls look like children.

The French government says that Shein must never sell them again. Shein says sorry and makes new rules. It also takes the dolls away. Now, Shein wants to open a store in Paris. Some people in Paris protest and say that it is wrong.

Shein says it will look at the problem and make sure it does not happen again. The company wants people to trust it.

Difficult words: store (a place where people buy things), sex doll (a doll for sexual activity), trust (to believe that someone is honest).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What steps did Shein take after its apology to address the controversy over the adult dolls?
