Human Rights Now found that in the supplier factory by the Miki House Trade, the workers suffered from serious infringement on their rights such as being forced to work overtime so long, low wages, delay payments of wages, inferior safety in working environment, not being provided an employment contract, lack of protection for female workers including admitting a maternity leave.  ... it was found that the level of safety in working environment in a supplier factory of Lecien falls below the minimum level secured by labor law in Myanmar (according a response from Lecien, a part of the issue of the safety in working environment was improved later).  Also, claims by workers about breach of minimum wages and lack of protection for female workers were found.
