A company named Best Practice Service sent the child to SMART Alabama, which provided component parts to Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, according to the complaint, which accused all three companies of jointly employing the child. Michael Stewart, a spokesperson for Hyundai, said in a statement that “the use of child labor, and breach of any labor law, is not consistent with the standards and values we hold ourselves to as a company” adding that the company had “worked over many months to thoroughly investigate this issue and took immediate and extensive remedial measures,” including requesting that suppliers end “their relationships with the third-party staffing agencies.
