The fire alarm shattered the monotony of the Tazreen Fashions factory. Now she ran to a staircase," Jim Yardley wrote in The New York Times, about a blaze that killed 112 workers last month, at the factory in Bangladesh, which made clothing "destined for some of the world's top retailers." The tragedy "has exposed a glaring disconnect among global clothing brands, the monitoring system used to protect workers and the factories actually filling the orders," Mr. Yardley wrote. While "Walmart, Sears and other retailers made the same startling admission that they did not know that Tazreen Fashions was making their clothing," the question is "who, then, is ultimately responsible when things go so wrong? " he wrote.
