“If such conduct is repeated, we would be within our legal right to stop Shein’s access to the French market,” French Finance Minister Roland Lescure told BFM TV.
Contacted by Reuters over the weekend, Shein said in an email: “The products in question were immediately removed from the platform as soon as we became aware of these major shortcomings.”
