Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the state is investigating global fast-fashion retailer Shein US Services LLC Corporation and its affiliates for potential violations of Texas law related to unethical labor practices and the sale of unsafe consumer products.
Shein, which generated more than $30 billion in global revenue in 2023, operates primarily online, offering a vast range of clothing, accessories, and home decor products.
The investigation will determine whether Shein’s supply chain and manufacturing practices violate Texas law by using toxic or hazardous materials, misleading consumers about product safety, and misleading consumers about ethical sourcing. The investigation will also examine the company’s data collection and privacy practices.
“Safe, non-toxic material and products are another key ingredient to the Make America Healthy Again movement. Any company that cuts corners on labor standards or product safety, especially those operating in foreign nations like China, will be held accountable,” said Paxton.
