| − | (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said it will do 30 percent less business with a parts supplier after uncovering employment of child workers at the China-based firm, marking the IT giant's strongest objection to the illegal practice to date.<br>
| + | Neither the driver nor the cows he was towing was injured Tuesday when the trailer they were riding in tipped over on Maine <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine Bags</a> Avenue in Farmingdale. |

| + | Chief Deputy Ryan Reardon of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said the crash occurred around 9:30 a.m., as the four cows were being towed in a trailer near DNK Used Cars. The driver, Jose Avila, 61, of Unity, told sheriff deputies that the load shifted and the trailer began to rock <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com> Buy Celine Bags</a> side to side before tipping over. |
| − | In July, Samsung Electronics suspended business with Dongguan Shinyang Electronics Co Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kosdaq-listed Shinyang <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine Handbags Outlet</a> Engineering Co Ltd, after U. S.-based China Labor Watch said it found at least five child workers without contracts at the Guangdong province-based supplier. <br> | + | The chains on the truck kept it from being worse, Reardon said. |

| + | Firefighters helped move the cows to another vehicle. The animals were moved to a nearby pasture, Reardon said. |
| − | Samsung said Chinese authorities found that while Dongguan Shinyang did not directly employ child workers, a subcontractor had hired them through a labour dispatch agency.<br>
| + | Reardon said responders offered to call a veterinarian to examine the cows, but Avila declined the offer after inspecting the animals himself. |

| + | Reardon <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine UK Outlet</a> was unsure if the trailer was damaged, which he indicated was homemade. |
| − | "Samsung has decided to still take measures against Dongguan Shinyang to hold the supplier responsible for failing to monitor its subcontractors, in accordance with Samsung's zero tolerance policy on child labour," the maker of the popular Galaxy smartphone said on Tuesday.<br>
| + | Traffic was slowed but continued to flow as crews tended to the animals. |

| + | I m glad the animals are OK and that nobody was injured, Reardon said. |
| − | The move to penalise the China-based maker of mobile phone covers and parts comes amid growing pressure on Samsung Electronics to ensure that its Chinese suppliers adhere to local labour laws.<br>
