You're welcome. If you're interested in this topic you might like to know that Senator Byron Dorgan along with co-sponsoring Senators Lindsey Graham, Sherrod Brown, Bernie Sanders, Russell Feingold and Robert Byrd re-introduced the "Decent Working Conditions and Fair Competition Act" which, when passed will prohibit the import, export or sale of sweatshop goods in the U.S. Call up your representatives and tell them about it.

I am going to stop buying all these brands. This is wrong. I was not aware of this. Everyone should post this on their facebook page so people know. These are CHILDREN!! These companies are making millions od the misery of children..I feel so sad. I will do my part and not buy any of these name brands anymore.

wal-mart, gap, abacrombie, aropostle, American eagle, hollister, ect ect. Your probably wearing child slave labor cloths right now, just look at the tag and see if it's made in a 3rd world country.
