It wasn't all speculation. There was a Bill of Lading - official U.S. document stating the import of Devardi glass from its manufacturer. The pictures of unsafe condition, no eye protection and bare feet, was of the manufacturer's factory. If memory serves, it was of the manufacturer's beadmaking and not glassmaking processes.
The workers looked very young so the "child labor" part was "speculation."
