Group finds China toy factory conditions "brutal"

China Labor Watch said in a report issued on Tuesday...that [8 Chinese toy] manufacturers -- which served a handful of global players, including Disney, Bandai and Hasbro -- paid "little heed to the most basic standards of the country". "Wages are low, benefits are non-existent, work environments are dangerous and living conditions are humiliating," it said... Walt Disney Company International said that it and its affiliates take claims of unfair labor practices very seriously, investigate any such allegations thoroughly and take remedial action... Hasbro could not be reached for an immediate comment, while Japan's Bandai declined to comment.
