Seoul Uncovers Toxic Chemicals in Shein Children's Products

South Korean authorities find phthalates at dangerous levels in multiple items, prompting product removal requests.

Seoul's inspections reveal some Shein products contain phthalates hundreds of times above safe limits.
Children's shoes and bags were among the items with the highest toxic chemical levels.
Phthalates are linked to hormone disruptions, obesity, heart disease, and fertility issues.
Shein states it conducts regular safety tests and removes products under investigation.
The European Union has also imposed stricter safety rules on Shein to protect consumers.
