Controversy level
- Apple Inc has faced sustained scrutiny over labor conditions in its Asian contract manufacturing supply chain, including the 2010 Foxconn Shenzhen Longhua suicide cluster (14+ worker suicides leading to installation of 'suicide nets') that triggered Apple's Supplier Responsibility audits, and recurring China Labor Watch investigations into Pegatron, Wistron, and Quanta over excessive overtime, underage labor, and forced student labor at iPhone assembly sites supplying Apple.
