From the Paper:

"For a long time the clothing line at Walmart that was owned by Kathy Lee Gifford was well received. It offered style, class and comfort all for an affordable price. Gifford was on her talk show and plugging her clothing line while at the same time professing her belief in human rights and the importance of the proper treatment of people. The nation was outraged when it was discovered that the clothes for Gifford's clothing line was being manufactured through the use of underpaid employees in what is commonly referred to as a sweat shop. Gifford has insisted from the beginning of the discovery that she had no idea there were such conditions being used for the development and manufacturing of her clothing line."
