A report alleged that workers in Karex factories were "liviing in cramped and undignified conditions" and in "damp and unhygienic dormitories.

Karex released a statement saying that it "does no believe that forced labour or modern slavery is currently occuring at our factories". Further, it earlier committed that it would hire "an independent firm specialising in ethical trade, human rights, labour standards” to carry out a “full social analysis”.

The same report identified some of Karex's major buyers and these entities have released statements, which were included in the report. 

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre reached out to USAID to also get their response-- this is linked below.
