FLSA - Child Labor Rules
"Hot Goods" Action in the Federal Courts
Section 12(a) of the FLSA provides that no producer, manufacturer, or dealer shall ship or deliver for shipment in commerce, any goods produced in an establishment in the U.S. in or about which oppressive child labor was employed within 30 days prior to the removal of the goods. This provision is in addition to Section 12(c), which prohibits employment of oppressive child labor in the production of goods for commerce. Oppressive child labor occurs when the child labor rules are violated.
Under these provisions, legal action could be taken to prevent an employer from shipping his product, if child labor violations have occurred within the past 30 days.
