TL;DR

Starbucks is being sued by a US consumer group for allegedly misleading the public about labor and human rights violations in the making of its products, despite its commitment to "100% ethical" sourcing. The lawsuit claims that the coffee giant has procured materials from farms and cooperatives involved in various violations against workers, including instances of slavery, child labor, and sexual abuse. Starbucks has strongly denied the allegations, stating that its sourcing practices are "best in class."
