British supermarket giant Tesco suspended a Chinese supplier of
Christmas cards on Sunday after a press report said a customer found a message written inside a card saying it had been packed by foreign prisoners who were victims of forced labour.

"We abhor the use of
prison labour and would never allow it in our supply chain," a Tesco spokesman said on Sunday.
Tesco, Britain's biggest retailer, donates 300,000 pounds ($390,000) a year from the sale of the cards to the charities
British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research
UK and Diabetes UK.
