Do you know of a specific brand or line that comes from Child Labor?
Wouldn't companies generally hide that information as much as possible?

If not, then why do a large number of people do?
I confess that I am guilty of this as well and it isn't something that I like. I suppose one reason is that a large number of people do not know about it. They may also not care (although I see this as being unlikely). They may also just be looking for the cheapest clothing.
