Children's products sold by Shein, a Chinese-founded online shopping giant, have been found to contain toxic substances at levels up to 428 times above acceptable limits in a safety inspection by the Seoul city government. The harmful chemicals were detected in seven out of eight children's leather products. Shein, known as the number one fast fashion retailer globally, faces allegations of engaging in shady and potentially criminal activities. South Korea has raised concerns about the presence of these toxic 'forever chemicals' linked to cancer and infertility in Shein's merchandise. Despite these findings, Shein is gearing up for an IPO, but it may encounter challenges in light of these revelations.
