US District Court, Central District of California
Abstract

Workers in China, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Swaziland, and Nicaragua filed a suit against Wal-Mart for its failure to monitor factories. The court concluded that Wal-Mart had no legal duty under its ‘Standards for Suppliers’ or common law negligence principles to monitor its suppliers or protect plaintiffs from suppliers’ alleged substandard labor practices.
