As well as child labour, it is claimed HEG Electronics enforces compulsory overtime of three to five hours per day beyond the normal eight-hour production line shift. Workers on HEG’s 11-hour night shift are given only a 40-minute break for meals, China Labor Watch said, alleging that the firm had "slack internal supervision mechanisms".

Samsung said its own inspections at the factory this year revealed nothing untoward, but said it would immediately examine China Labor Watch's claims.

"Samsung Electronics has conducted two separate on-site inspections on HEG's working conditions this year but found no irregularities on those occasions," a spokesman said.
"A team of inspectors consisting of Samsung personnel from Korea headquarters will be dispatched to Huizhou, China on 9 August, and it will immediately launch an investigation and take appropriate measures to correct any problems that may surface."
