Puma is investigating the almost simultaneous fainting in the early hours of last Saturday and Sunday of 101 workers at a Cambodian factory that makes footwear for the brand, according to just-style. The workers, from the Heuy Chuen manufacturing plant, were sent to the hospital for intravenous feeding after being diagnosed with low blood glucose levels.
An investigation by Heuy Chuen's management, Cambodia's Interior Security Department of the Ministry and local police reportedly found that the factory was in full compliance with legal requirements, with Puma's list of restricted substances and with the principles of its social ethics code. These include providing adequate air supply and space, and preventing exposure to glue emissions. Further tests were being carried out on samples of drinking water from the plant, according to just-style.
