How Nike responded to accusations
On Apr. 23, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Kasky v. Nike, a suit claiming that the Beaverton (Ore.) footwear giant's public-relations efforts misled consumers about abusive working conditions at the overseas factories that produce its shoes. In 1997, Nike hired Andrew Young, the former U.N. Ambassador, to evaluate 12 factories that make its sneakers, mostly in Asia and he came back with nothing to tell .

- As an American consumer, are you now more concerned with how the products you buy are made? yes I am more concerned Why or Why not? because just think about what people had to go though to make them and people don't seem to care in my opinion.
