Apple has admitted that 91 children were last year found to be assembling the company's products, which include the iPhone 4 and iPad, according to its annual report on the working conditions of people building its gadgets - the report also admits for the first time that 137 workers were poisoned by the hydrocarbon n-hexacane last year, despite previous reports that the number of people involved was 62.

“At Foxteq we work like robots. They force us to lift 30-35 kilogram units for seven hours continuously and this has had bad effects on health. Workers who are doing this kind of work are in so much pain that after tea time they are already asking around for pain killers. Work that used to be done by two people is now being carried out by one person."
