Safety Advocates Urge for Ethically Made Clothing with Custom Labels

Clothing With Custom Labels May Be on Horizon

Products with custom labels, such as Fair Trade Certification or "Made in the USA," are popular among consumers who believe the products' origins are important.

Bangladesh Accident Brings Product Labels to Public According to The New York Times, the accident in Bangladesh has caused concern among consumers about the issue of not having product labels citing the item was made in ethical working conditions. The NYT reports some retailers are already telling consumers about the origins of their products, with Nordstrom among the many that are considering the measure.

Nobel Prize recipient and Bangladesh citizen Muhammad Yunus is calling for the creation of a Garment Workers Welfare Fund, which would have a special label designating where the garment came from, according to Racked, a fashion news source. Yunus is only one of many urging the global retail community to adopt "Ethically Made" labeling.
