Kardashian slave labor sweatshop scandal

The Kardashians are reportedly using chinese sweatshops and "slave labor" to manufacture their fashion products.

According to a Star Magazine investigation, the Kardashian-branded items, sold under the K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner Kollection, and Kim Kardashian's ShoeDazzle line are made in regions of China where workers, some as young as sixteen years old, "are abused and virtually imprisoned".

"The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people," Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, tells Star, adding, "Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women's rights."

There are also claims the workers work up to 84 hours a week, earning $1 an hour -- "with temperatures inside non-air-conditioned factories soaring to over 100°F".

The Kardashian family raked in approximately $65 million last year.

In other news, the Kardashian Kollection for Sears reportedly isn't doing well. The Kardashian krap "hardly brought in the gushing crowds that celebrity products usually attract," according to MSN Money.
