Sherrin has pulled all football manufacturing from its Indian subcontractors, after admitting some of its balls were made using child labour.

On Saturday, the Herald revealed that Sherrin balls were being hand-stitched by children as young as 10 for as little as 12ยข a ball.

The children, almost all of them girls, were being pulled out of school to stitch balls for up to 10 hours a day, seven days a week. Sherrin claimed it knew nothing of the child labour and promised an investigation.

In an announcement yesterday, Sherrin's parent company, Russell Corporation, said it was ''extremely grateful'' the matter had been brought to its attention and that, from today, no balls would be allowed to be subcontracted out for stitching.

''We have a zero tolerance policy regarding the use of underage workers, and we are appalled that one of our subcontractors has used child labour in the stitching of our footballs,'' the Australian managing director, Chris Lambert, said.
