Certainly not welcome news to their big dollar business endeavors, the Kardashian family has been linked to utilizing sweatshop labor to produce their merchandise.
According to breaking reports, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the rest of the family's enterprise is being investigated by a human rights group for "slave labor" like conditions in China.
Sources tell that workers as young as 16-years-old are being forced to do their jobs in factories "reeking of stench" with temperatures above the 100 degree mark.
The laborers are reportedly paid as little as $1/hour while putting in 84 hour weeks - with the Kardashian clan pulling in around $65 million/year from the sales of their K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner Kollection and ShoeDazzle.
Responding to the allegations, family matriarch Kris Jenner told TMZ, "As far as I know the factories that are used to manufacture the Kardashian clothing and shoes have nothing terrible going on at all and the factories are very well policed and meet factory standards."
