The answer

It is forbidden to wear anything that contains images of living beings, whether real or imaginary, due to the evidence that prohibits imaging and the fact that angels do not enter a house that contains images. The prohibition of selling follows the prohibition of wearing. The حرمة (sacred inviolability/prohibition) may be intensified if the images are of unveiled women or glorified figures. It is advised to return these goods and replace them with what is permissible, or to stop importing such items.
