Abstract
Consumers are often implicated in upholding unjust economic practices that arise when they purchase commodities produced in ethically unacceptable ways. Consumers are, however, ignorant about the production of many of the commodities they buy, and so they often unwittingly consume such products. This essay asks whether consumers are culpable for their ignorance about the commodities they purchase.
