I have no doubt these crimes do get written about, but they're third-rate beats, rarely front-page material. They don't lead to mass condemnation, they don't lead to boycotts, they don't result in congressional hearings.

That article is literally by the same "beat" as the parent article.

But on your point on boycotts, yes they did[0] and on congressional hearings, also yes they did [1].

I remember reading about the talc issue in Spain, and a quick search led me to congressional action on talc: https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/chairman-kri... I’m afraid the bias might be elsewhere.
