I don't know the original source of this and I can't vouch for its authenticity, but I can only assume this is a real example of conditions in a real Chinese factory. I guess you not only have cheap labor rates, but a lack of respect for people and their safety? I hope something like this is an isolated case.

One of our customers shared this with us and we have been spreading it for about a month. Reactions have ranged from disbelief to outrage, and rightly so.
How can you sure that it happened in China? Please modify the title.
Do I know, for a fact, that it is from China? No, but every reference to the video on the internet says China, so that’s all I have to go on.
Do you have information that it is not China? Tony, if you can, please email me at markgbox-lean@yahoo.com.
Even if this video isn’t from China (it ain’t from Mexico) this sort of thing IS happening in China. There is plenty of hard evidence on that, Tony.
