But Schein has faced scrutiny over some of her business practices, such as copying designs and using cotton for clothes from China’s Xinjiang region, where U.S. officials say Uyghurs have been mistreated by the government. Investors are expecting an initial public offering from Shin this year, which has only increased questions about the company.

Thursday’s ruling does not name the company, but “Shane is probably the clearest example of a company that has taken advantage of de minimis loopholes,” Mr. Blumenauer said.

“There may be modest financial savings for consumers, but at what cost?” He talked about Shin’s affordable product line. I think we have decided to respect the environment, human rights and product safety, even if it costs a few cents more.

Shen said in a statement that he has “no tolerance for forced labor” and has created a system to enforce the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

This month, Mr. Rubio sent a letter to other lawmakers warning them of Sheen’s business practices and lobbying efforts.

In the year In 2016, when the rule was last adjusted, “people were less concerned about China then than they are now,” said William Reinsch, a senior adviser at Kelley, Dre & Warren and president of the National Foreign Trade Council.

What’s next: The bills are far from being passed.

The two bills must be considered separately in the House of Representatives and the Senate and may face a long road to approval.

Meanwhile, Shane has been on a roll in recent months, talking more about his sustainability practices and his work with independent designers — two areas where he faces a lot of questions.
