The n-hexane poisoning incident happened between October 2008 and July 2009, Apple's 2010 report on suppliers' labor practice (published feb 2011) disclosed this severe offense and Apple demanded Wintek to stop such practice and compensate affected workers. Wintek failed to offer these disabled workers adequate monetary compensation and necessary medical aide. And Apple did not monitor Wintek's clean-up act close enough, just took the vendor's word for it. So later 2011 the conflict blew out into a full protest at the factory's gate. Though Apple is one of Wintek's major clients, the Taiwan based company did not exclusively produce iPhone panels.
