More Rubber Gloves From Malaysia Subject to Forced Labor WRO

CBP issued a withhold release order on disposable gloves “produced in Malaysia by Brightway Holdings Sdn Bhd, Biopro (M) Sdn Bhd, and Biopro (M) Sdn Bhd (collectively, Brightway Group)," the agency said in a news release Dec. 20. Brightway is one of several Malaysian companies named in recent forced labor allegations by Andy Hall, a British human rights activist (see 2105240022). “Forced Labor is a human rights abuse inflicted upon 25 million people worldwide,” CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said. “CBP will not allow goods tainted with forced labor to make their way into American households and businesses.”
