Katie Price - Jordan’s ‘slave’ perfume axed

**Admin** Tue Jun 15, 2010 11:16 am

JORDAN'S perfumes have been ditched by Superdrug after it emerged Indian workers making the bottles were paid just £2.05 A DAY.

The store yesterday began clearing the shelves of the 32-year-old glamour girl's "Stunning" and "Besotted" fragrances. Staff at the Pragati factory in Gujarat were slaving away for well below India's minimum wage.

Glassworkers should earn at least £2.25 a day.

Experts claimed the daily wage of 141 rupees would barely cover the cost of food.

The factory also made bottles for late reality star Jade Goody's "Shhhh" perfume and for Umbro.

Superdrug sold Jordan's perfumes at £19.99 for a 50ml bottle plus gift sets.

Spokeswoman Sara Wolverson said: "We have a robust ethical trading policy."

A spokesman for Jordan, real name Katie Price, said the Indian factory had been ditched and production switched to the UK.

Great... Now the factory making the bottles will close or cut back and the workers will be earning 0 per day.

I worked for superdrug for a long time this is a publicity stunt for them as was the removing jades purfume during the bb race row, the bottles sat in the storeroom for a month or two and where then put back on the shelves.

and now they`ll be on the streets begging and starving. It was their only income however low it was.

Miss Price coming out top trumph in the class(less) polls again, dirty cheap bottles glossed over to look "stunning" and glamourous, see any similarities anyone

Who would want to wear this ghastly persons perfume? To smell like her? Yuk.

Bermuda Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:09 pm

Why wasnt it bottled in the uk in the first place? We are supposed to back our own country to get it back on its feet again

i'm glad this awful womans empire is slowly crumbling, cant stand her.

MrBulgaria Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:15 pm

she cannot do a foot wrong, she will always, if she fell in to manure she would come out smelling of roses.you will always get some numb skull buying her stuff as there happy to critisize her but still buy it why!.

TheLordc Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:16 pm

Send her to India for a trial, and maybe a flogging, one way ticket for one large tramp please!

Can somebody explain how this crass women earns her keep, what does she actually do, other than totally annoy everyone who has more than one brain cell.

Kryten Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:18 pm

You'd have to be a mug to get suckered in by this line in marketing. This is the reality behind "celebrity" endorsed goods. Slap Jordan's name on any old tat, and the chavs will flock out in their droves to buy it.

Linzell24 Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:19 pm

Listen to you all! You're pathetic! If you think for one minute that its just Katie Price that that does this you're very wrong, Its is horrible to think that anyone would expect things done for a ?2.50 a day wage but there are top name brands of perfume doing the exact same and selling perfume in superdrug at double the price only they dont have the publicity in the uk tha Katie does!! Publicity stunt SUPERDRUG???? I THINK SO!
I bet u all shop in primark too! Do u know how much the KIDS earn per day in the primark factory!! Probably less! Deosnt stop you's wearing them!

Rigsby1980 Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:20 pm

It's nice to rip of the vulnerable third world when you've got 30 million you never earned, isn't it Jordan? The skanky disgrace, unforgivable.

WhiteFox22 Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:21 pm

Well done Superdrug - lets hope all other stockists follow suit! Jordan, business woman extraordinaire that she claims to be should have done her homework there or maybe it doesn't bother her as long as she maintains her big profit margins!

Colie1 Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:22 pm

That is what you get from Chav endorsed perfume

Gazza-B Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:22 pm

when will people realise jordan does not actually do anything. why do all these young girls/women look up to her. she has ruined her looks for money and would do or use anybody for a quick pound. that includes her family and friends what an example!!

Trucker99 Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:23 pm

Look around you .this pratice has been going on for the last 25 years..most of the clothes on your backs are made in Romania or the like ...do you think they have the best of care ,wages,etc ........NO

Nanjia Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:24 pm

What I don't get is why ANY store would stock a Jordan endorsed product. I never buy 'celebrity' perfumes anyway cos they are always overpriced and they don't need the money. However, after past events I would not buy any 'Jordan' product,. Now compounded by where it is made. Horrendous

Lizzy6666 Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:25 pm

Jordon would not give a toss its only because it has now been exposed that ther people will do something about it she thinks she is clever lol

DippyChick Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:25 pm

Seriously do you pathetic people have such a crap life that you have to come on ere and slate her for every little thing?? get a grip if you really dont like her that much then dont read the stories. Simples! And do you honestly think that any of the other celebs perfumes are made in a differnt way??? if you do then you really are stupid the lot of you. Someone got hold of the story but what it doesnt say is that Katie isnt the only one. And if you actually read it all you will see its been stopped and moved to production in the uk!! seriously your ridiculous
