German brand says no yarn from Pakistan mill, where worker lost an arm, has featured in its products as campaigners renew pressure over factory safety

The German brand, which earlier this year chose not to recommit to the legally binding Pakistan Accord workplace safety agreement, has faced renewed scrutiny over risk management in its extended supply chain.
