Canada has halted imports from Malaysian glove-maker Supermax Corp. weeks after a similar move from the U.S. amid allegations of forced-labor practices.
Canada barred additional deliveries from the company’s unit, Supermax Healthcare Canada, to the government until an audit report on the matter mandated by the firm is reviewed by authorities, Public Services and Procurement Canada said in a statement on Nov. 10. The audit report is expected by the middle of this month, according to the statement.
