The International Association of Victims of Incest issued the alert on Saturday, August 15, 2020 on its Twitter account. These objects are "illegal because article 227-23 of the Penal Code prohibits the representation of a minor when this representation is pornographic", indicated the association.

"Following the alerts from associations that I thank, I asked Amazon France to end the marketing on their platform of sex dolls with the effigy of children", detailed Adrien Taquet on Twitter, "What Amazon France did immediately by committing to remain vigilant".
