    Default Apple admits using child labour in China



    Apple has been repeatedly criticised for using factories that abuse workers and where conditions are poor. Last week, it emerged that 62 workers at a factory that manufactures products for Apple and Nokia had been poisoned by n-hexane, a toxic chemical that can cause muscular degeneration and blur eyesight. Apple has not commented on the problems at the plant, which is run by Wintek, in the Chinese city of Suzhou.

    glad i bought an iphone, those kids can now eat. O/J

    .... This is bad practice, and apple should be ashamed that they have funded this company. IMHO the contract with this "plant" has now ended as this would be in the contract.
    Its time for apple to move on to a company who will not use child labour.
