Fire trucks blamed in fainting
The mass fainting spell that affected the Hung Wah Cambodia Garment Manufacturing factory in Phnom Penh yesterday has been blamed on the lack of sleep due to fire trucks having been nearby during the night putting out a blaze. There has been some debate over whether it was exhaustion or chemicals being used in the factory that were the cause. The Fair Labour Association (FLA) has filled a report that found workers at another factory have been pressured into working 24 hour shifts along with the use of dangerous chemicals banned by Puma, who is a buyer from both the Hung Wah factory and the one in the FLA report.
