Last week, Samsung was accused of using child labor, in direct contrast with statements made in their 2014 Sustainability Report.

Today, Samsung acknowledged that child labor was, indeed, used by at least one of its contractors:

Samsung Electronics said on Monday that it had temporarily suspended business with a supplier factory in southern China after allegations surfaced last week indicating the facility had illegally hired under-age workers to produce cellphone components.

The South Korean electronics giant said its own preliminary investigation found “evidence of suspected child labor” at Dongguan Shinyang Electronics, a South Korean-owned factory based in the city of Dongguan, one of the biggest manufacturing centers in China.

In a news release, Samsung said that the authorities in China were investigating the case, and that if the under-age workers had been hired illegally, the factory could be permanently barred from working with Samsung.

Samsung’s response:

“It is unfortunate that the allegation surfaced despite Samsung’s efforts to prevent child labor at its suppliers,” Samsung said in its statement.
