On 26 November 2025 the European Parliament adopted a resolution urging the Commission and member states to enforce the Digital Services Act and the General Product Safety Regulation more decisively after a scandal in France involving the sale of child‑like sex dolls and weapons by non‑EU platforms such as Shein. The resolution calls for temporary suspension of non‑compliant marketplaces in cases of repeated, serious breaches, and for increased funding for customs and market surveillance authorities. It also proposes a harmonised EU‑level handling fee and stronger sanctions to prevent unsafe, non‑compliant goods from entering the EU market. MEPs emphasize the need to move from dialogue to timely enforcement to protect consumers, especially minors, from unsafe products.
