IOW, the doctorine of selfishness.

And if the manufacturer makes his product using slave and/or child
labor?


This has come up wit other groups and other products. Child labor is
a problem in some countries, but not buying the product is not the
answer.
If you put those factories out of business the kids can no longer
afford a bowl of rice. What is the solution? Since you want them shut
down, you must have a better idea.

Buying products manufactured with slave or child labor only perpetuates
that abuse and that poverty. Buy the competing product that costs just a
little bit more and pays a free adult a better wage so they can send their
kids to school.

Period.

Seriously? You believe that if you don't buy a product, that might be
produced by a child, that it will put a stop to that? While I agree
that child labor is not a great scenario, if not manufacturing, they
might be sold or traded as slaves.
