U.S. Customs officials on June 17 issued a detention order on hair products with links to forced labor in Xinjiang, China, to prevent the items from reaching stores in the United States.

In a statement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said that starting Wednesday, customs officials would detain imported merchandise “made wholly or in part with hair products” produced by Meixin Hair Product Co. Ltd. in Xinjiang’s Lop County.
