    Any legal experts here that can offer some insight on how potent this lawsuit is? I haven’t heard of “International Rights Advocates” before this article, but according to the article they lost a Supreme Court case related to this in 2021. That suit was filed on behalf of several former workers, and was dismissed on grounds that their injuries occurred in another country. This suit seems to make more sense to me - there is a federal law banning the import of goods produced with child labor, and that is the law that they are hanging this suit on.
