The article says:

The French agency that regulates radio frequencies, the ANFR, has notified Apple of its decision to ban iPhone 12 sales after tests showed the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was above the allowed limit.

Followed by this quote:

The ANFR said it would verify that the iPhone 12 models were no longer being offered for sale in France starting today.

That sounds a lot like "banned" to me. Considering those two quotes, I don't think the article title is misleading. It sounds like they are banning sales effective immediately, and will force apple to conduct a recall if they can't retroactively fix the already sold units.
