Samsung is sending a team to investigate conditions at a supplier's factory in China, following a report from a labor-rights watchdog that accused the factory of employing underage workers.
Samsung's inspectors will be dispatched to Huizhou, China on Thursday to address the claims, which were made by China Labor Watch. CLW's report alleged that HEG Electronics, a Samsung supplier, has been using child labor.
The company has already made two inspections of the facility this year, neither of which revealed any "irregularities," according to a release.
"Samsung Electronics is a company held to the highest standards of working conditions and we try to maintain that at our facilities and the facilities of partner companies around the world," reads the company's statement.
Samsung is the top smartphone manufacturer in China, having sold 22% of smartphones purchased in the country in the first quarter of 2012. Its newest smartphone, the Galaxy Nexus S III, has already broke shipping records worldwide.
Apple, one of Samsung's major competitors, previously came under fire for allegedly poor working conditions at supplier Foxconn's factories in Shenzhen, China.
