The British-based grocery chain Tesco has halted production at a factory in China after a British newspaper said it used forced labor to produce charity Christmas cards.
FILE - In this Monday, Sept. 22, 2014 file photo, the sign on a Tesco shop is photographed, in London. Tesco said Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019 it had stopped production and launched an immediate investigation after the Sunday Times newspaper raised questions about the factory's labor practices.
The newspaper said the potentially problematic province of the cards came to light when a 6-year-old girl in south London found a card in her box already had a message written inside. The London girl's father, Ben Widdicombe, said Sunday they at first thought the message was a “prank." Widdicombe said finding the message shortly before Christmas was poignant and that he told his daughter, Florence, what it might mean.
