A customer put once as a joke an SOS message in the pocket of the trousers in a Primark store. The letter was in Chinese language, with a prison ID card. The letter said that the writer was forced to work "like oxen" making clothes for export for 15 hours per day. After Primark get known of that, it claimed the label and several other letters were found in items, just that they could found out that everything was a joke.
