The Chinese fast-fashion retailer, which opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Paris, has come under scrutiny from French authorities and others.

On the same day Shein opened its first store in Paris, the French government said Wednesday it will suspend Shein’s website over its alleged online sale of childlike “sex dolls” online until it complies with French law, according to the Associated Press.

Paris authorities on Wednesday deployed riot police for the unveiling of Shein's first bricks and mortar store in the world, as controversy swirled over the Asian e-commerce giant's fast fashion and sale of childlike sex dolls online.

France is urging the European Union to investigate how Shein has been able to sell illegal items like child-like sex dolls and weapons on its platform.

Asian e-commerce giant Shein Tuesday pledged to "cooperate fully" with French judicial authorities after an uproar over it selling childlike sex dolls, and said it was prepared to disclose the names of people who bought them,
