Asian Child Labor Being Duped In The Name Of Not For Sale

The Sydney Morning Herald disclosed in its reports during September that Australian sports companies were selling football stitched b Indian laborer at bargain prices at retail stores. 

It reported,” Hundreds of children are secretly employed making balls for Australian children the same age, pressed into harmful, backbreaking labour for little more than one dollar a day." The incidents of a consumer good being used as for an exploitative consumer practice may bring a shock to us in the facet of consumer. 

However, in the mentioned case, the exploitation of child labor by an Australian football company  is no different from footy kick in the guise of “ Not For Sale”. It has not been so long when a year back, when  Fairfax Media flak the names of two other household football brands, Sherrin, the maker of Aussie rules balls, and Canterbury's rugby union balls in similar incidents of child slavery.
