BBC Panorama Primark verdict welcomed
In 2008, Primark was featured on the BBC TV Panorama programme: “Primark on the Rack”, which claimed to show three young boys being used to manufacture clothes sold in Primark. After three years, a lengthy investigation by Primark and a comprehensive review by the BBC Trust, the BBC Trust has confirmed that this footage was fabricated and should never have been broadcast. This website explains how this happened and what Primark had to do to expose this false claim and clear our name.
