Crumbl Cookies in Violation of Labor Regulations for Minor Employees

 Crumbl Cookies, a Utah-based franchise of cookie bakeries, has violated child labor regulations in six states, affecting 46 minor-aged workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

A federal investigation into the child labor violations found that 11 operators in six states allowed young employees, “many 14 and 15 years of age,” to work more than the law permits or in “hazardous or prohibited occupations,” a press release states.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division says it found violations affecting 46 workers at Crumbl Cookies’ locations in California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Utah and Washington. The violations ranged from employing some minor-aged employees to work longer and later than the time the law allows, to “assigning others to operate potentially dangerous ovens and machinery,” a release from the agency reads.
