The BBC investigation found plain T-shirts and hoodies had their original labels removed last year at Boohoo’s Thurmaston Lane factory in Leicester, which the retailer is considering closing.

The mislabelling is said to have taken place at the factory, possibly affecting up to one in 250 of Boohoo’s global supply of clothes between January and October 2023.
