countries by self-employed agents who promised
wages up to five times what they receive. They
pay up to £725 to get the job, equivalent to
seven months' earnings.
Once in Mauritius they receive as
little as 22p to 40p an hour, about 40% below the
local average wage. In at least one firm salaries are
set according to race, with those from Bangladesh
paid substantially less than Sri
Lankans."

unqualified," ... if it's bad ... recall it.

against poor product quality and
supervision."

"The (New Zealand)
government ordered the probe after scientists hired
by a consumer watchdog programme discovered
formaldehyde in Chinese clothes at levels of up
to 900 times regarded as safe. Manufacturers
sometimes apply formaldehyde to clothes to prevent
mildew. It can cause skin rashes, irritation to the
eyes and throat and allergic reactions." FT
