Just because it is illegal in the US, does not mean that it is illegal everywhere. I will not be made to feel as if I am committing a cardinal sin for purchasing an article that is made legally in its country of origin. If memory serves it is the large multinationals that stand accused of exploiting third-world populations not a small company in the developing world trying to break into the western market. Nike comes to mind. 'Just do it' Well they have done it, all over the third world.
