Chinese Factory Allegedly Exploits Workers Making Labubu Toys

Chinese Factory Allegedly Exploits Workers Making Labubu Toys

A group called China Labor Watch found out that a toy factory in China, which makes Labubu toys, is treating its workers badly.

They made workers sign blank papers, work too many extra hours, and even hired teenagers without giving them special protection like the law says.

The factory has over 4,500 workers, and the group talked to more than 50 of them, including three who were under 18.

The workers had to make a lot of toys every day, and they worked way more extra hours than allowed.

The toy company, Pop Mart, says they check their factories regularly and care about worker safety, but the group says more needs to be done to help the workers.
