The Kardashians aren’t the only famous fashionistas who have been accused of using sweatshops to produce clothing lines. After the shocking allegations reported by Star magazine that the famous family is endorsing and selling fashion products manufactured in foreign sweatshops, where workers, some as young as 16 years old, are abused and virtually imprisoned, RadarOnline.com has details about other celebrities who have been involved in sweatshop scandals over the years.

American television host Kathie Lee Gifford was shocked when the National Labor Committee human rights group filed a 1996 report that her Wal-Mart clothing line was being produced in a Honduras sweatshop. Though Gifford maintained that she wasn’t involved in the management of her factories and wasn’t aware of the conditions, she investigated the allegations and later went on to campaign against international sweatshops with President Bill Clinton.
