Samsung Electronics has said it will investigate claims that one of its suppliers hired child workers.

New York-based campaign group Child Labor Watch (CLW) alleged its investigators found evidence of the violation while working at a factory owned by China's HEG Electronics.

It said seven under-16-year-olds were identified between June and July.
