Cambodian authorities began an investigation…into the mass fainting of about 800 workers at two garment factories, including one that produces footwear for German sporting goods group Puma. About 300 workers at Huey Chuen (Cambodia) Corp Ltd on Saturday night suddenly fell sick, followed by another 500 on Sunday at Universal Apparel (Cambodia) Co Ltd, labour industry officials and workers said. Huey Chuen supplies products to Puma. Puma, quoting a local police report, said the number of Huey Chuen workers who fell sick was 101. Moeun Tola, head of the labour unit at the nonprofit Community Legal Education Center, put the figure at about 300 and said the discrepancy was due to large numbers of workers going home instead of to hospital…Phnom Penh Police Chief Touch Naruth told Reuters his officers and the Labour Ministry were investigating the factories.
