TAIPEI, Dec 20 (The Straits Times/ANN): Since early December, six retailers have pulled products by Fu Wan Chocolate from their shelves and stopped collaborations with the Taiwanese chocolate company, after an Internet user posted online details of a five-year-old sexual harassment case involving the company's former chairman and an intern.

The intern, who worked at Fu Wan in 2015, had accused then chairman Hsu Feng-chia of sexually harassing her at work, resulting in Hsu being handed a six-month jail sentence - time that was later commuted to a fine.
