Well isn’t this a head scratcher of a story.
A shopper has claimed she found a “cry for help” note hidden inside a pair of trousers alleging slave labour conditions in a Chinese prison.
The note, wrapped in a prison identity card, claimed inmates were forced to work 15 hours a day making clothes.
Karen Wisínska said she bought the trousers in Primark’s Belfast store in June 2011 but had never worn them. She discovered the note just last week.
A Primark spokesperson said the firm has begun an immediate investigation.
If it’s a fake it’s a pretty good job, if it’s real…well I wouldn’t hold your breath on anything being done about it. I guess the moral is… um, check your pockets a soon as you buy new clothes, or something.
