CRITICISMS


Hilfiger has been criticised for manufacturing clothes in Sweatshop conditions in the US territory of Saipan , Northern Mariana Islands . As a US Commonwealth , clothes made there can be labeled "Made in the USA" but federal Labor Laws including the Minimum Wage do not apply. In March 2000, the company (along with other defendants) settled a class action suit brought by Saipan garment workers which had alleged that their working conditions amounted to Indentured Servitude . {Link without Title}

Since at least 1996, a false rumour has circulated on the internet that Hilfiger had made a racist remark on '' feature film '' Bamboozled ''.
