KUALA LUMPUR

The former employees allege that “Dyson was unjustly enriched as a result of the unlawful, exploitative and dangerous conditions at the factory”, British law firm Leigh Day said in a statement on Friday.

A Dyson spokesman told Reuters: “These allegations relate to employees of ATA, not Dyson. If proceedings were to be issued we would robustly defend them.” The company said it takes its responsibilities towards workers employed by its third-party suppliers “extremely seriously”.

ATA, which makes parts for Dyson’s vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, did not have an immediate comment on the claim.
