Wal-Mart distances itself from fire in Bangladesh

The garment factory in Bangladesh where a weekend fire killed at least 112 people had been making clothes for Wal-Mart without the giant US retailer’s knowledge, Wal-Mart said.

Wal-Mart said the Tazreen Fashions factory was no longer authorised to produce merchandise for Wal-Mart but that a supplier subcontracted work to it “in direct violation of our policies”.
