Inditex SA, the world’s largest clothing retailer, said it stopped doing business with two subcontractors after garments with the company’s labels were found at the site of a fatal factory fire in Bangladesh.

Seven people died in the Jan. 26 blaze at Dhaka’s Smart Export Garments Ltd., according to the fire department. Garments from Inditex’s Bershka and Lefties brands were found in the wreckage, the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights said on its website.
