KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Malaysia’s Top Glove Corp., the world’s largest rubber glove maker, said Wednesday it hopes to swiftly end a U.S. ban on its products due to allegations of forced labour after one of its shipment was seized at a U.S. port.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday it had seized a shipment of 3.97 million nitrile disposable gloves from Top Glove worth an estimated US$518,000 at Cleveland port, Ohio.
This followed its March 29 ban of Top Glove products based on information showing multiple indicators of forced labour including debt bondage, excessive overtime, abusive working and living conditions and retention of identity documents.
