Groups Slam Multinationals After Another Deadly Blaze in Bangladesh | Common Dreams: Another fire in a Bangladesh garment factory killed several workers on Saturday, sparking fresh calls for investigations into the safety and labor rights of garment producers in factories that commonly export products to U.S. companies such as Walmart and Walt Disney.
The fire Saturday, which occurred at the Smart Export Garment Ltd. factory, killed seven female workers, an official said Sunday.
"When I tried to escape through the emergency exit I found the gate locked," Raushan Ara, a worker at the factory, told newspaper Prothom Alo.
Local reports said at least 50 people were injured in a stampede triggered by the fire. Several of the injured jumped out of the windows of the two-story factory, survivors said. Roughly 250 workers were in the factory at the time of the fire.
