Amazon, Walmart, and Target sold clothes from factories that were blacklisted after a Bangladeshi factory collapsed and killed 1,100 workers

It's been just over six years since a factory building outside Bangladesh's capital city collapsed, killing more than 1,100 people inside. In the months that followed, some of the world's biggest retailers including Walmart, Target, H&M, and Gap took action andtasked with inspecting factories in the country with the goal of preventing disasters like this from happening again.

revealed that despite these measures being put in place, items produced in these blacklisted factories in Bangladesh have still found their way on to Walmart and Target's websites, along with Amazon, although Amazon is not a member of the two organizations inspecting the factories. It found that items were either bought by wholesalers and sold on to Amazon and Walmart or listed with third-party sellers on their marketplaces. 67 banned factories had items listed on Amazon, 33 on Walmart, and one on Target.

The spokesperson also said that it "does not inspect the factories that it buys clothes from its wholesalers or that come from third-party sellers but it requires these parties to adhere to its safety standards."
