Ferrero announced on Wednesday that it will initiate an investigation regarding the assembling of Kinder toys by a Romanian family from Carei, Romania.

The announcement comes right after some journalists from The Sun published a so-called ‘investigation’ about a poor Romanian family, including a six-year-old child, regarding the assembling of Kinder toys for 22 pennies per hour.

‘We are strongly concerned about these unacceptable accusations regarding the practices from Romania. We have launched a full investigation in order to establish all the facts’, said Ferrero, according to news.ro.

It has been reported that a Romanian family gains 20 LEI’s, that is about 3.77 pounds, per 1000 assembled eggs, which are then delivered to a factory.

Prosecutors of Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) announced on Wednesday afternoon that they have begun the prosecution for exploiting children through forced labor, where they were used by their parents to assemble Kinder toys.

Timea Jurj, the mother of the two children, said that everything was made up and the British journalists promised that her husband would get a job in the UK if the whole family agrees to appear in this story.

‘I did not understand everything in English. They said that everything is OK. They said they are here to promote the eggs. I have two children who are going to school, to kindergarten, not working 13 hours a day. I did not understand what those people said in English’, said Timea Jurj.

‘If the executives of Ferrero would know what is happening in Romania, they would probably have a heart attack. The company does not get what it paid for and the intermediaries are earning a fortune for the work of some people who are treated like slaves’, said an anonymous source from Ferrero.

Jurj family is involved in the process of assembling toys, with the participation of Timea, her husband Christian and their two children Patrick (11 years) and Hannah (6 years).

‘It’s slave labor, but what else could we do? We have no opportunities here. When you see the way we are living you should understand why it is our dream to go to the UK’, said Christian Jurj for The Sun.
