$600,000 in civil penalties will be divided equally among the District Attorney’s Offices of Napa, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sonoma counties.
July 12, 2025 – LOS ANGELES, CA – Global fast fashion retailer Shein will pay $700,000 to settle a civil lawsuit
brought by the District Attorney’s Offices of Napa, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sonoma counties. The lawsuit alleged that the company engaged in unlawful business practices by taking more than a month to ship online orders and failing to provide adequate delay notices to consumers or offer refunds for late orders as required by California law, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced on Thursday.
“In this case, fast fashion shipping was not-so-fast and in clear violation of California law,” District Attorney Hochman said. “No company, no matter how large, is above the law, and we will continue to fight for consumers in Los Angeles County. For companies operating throughout California, know this: District attorneys across the state will come together to hold you accountable. I thank our partners — especially Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley for leading this case, and LADA Deputy District Attorney Duke Chau of our Consumer Protection Division, for ensuring our offices are united in standing up for consumers.”…
