The Consumer is at fault because we buy the products. We know what is going on at these factories and we buy the products.
Your Galaxy and Nook, my Kindles, other folks Sony's and I Products. We know why manufacturing jobs left the US, labor was too expensive and well regulated. We know why they are being made in China and other places. We are willing to look the other way or discuss the problem while allowing it to continue for our convenience.
If consumers speak with their dollars then corporations have an incentive to apply pressure to change the labor practices overseas. Until then asking a corporation to do what is moral and ethical works in Star Trek and other utopian societies but not the real world.
There has been little real change in agriculture or the garment industry even with all the PR nightmares. Why would you expect change in the electronics industry?
