Shein bans sex dolls – level 2

Shein bans sex dolls

10-11-2025 07:00

Shein stopped selling all sex dolls and adult products after people in France became angry about dolls that looked like children.

The French finance minister said Shein couldn’t sell in France if this happened again. The company said it punished the sellers and made stronger rules to stop such products. France’s child protection official said buying these dolls is dangerous and can lead to crimes.

Shein is also planning to open a store in Paris, but some people protested outside the building. The company said it removed the products quickly and is checking what happened to make sure it will not happen again.

Difficult words: sex doll (a doll made for sexual activity), protection (keeping someone or something safe from harm), punish (to make someone suffer for doing something wrong).

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

What measures did Shein implement after the controversy to prevent the sale of similar products?
