The collapse of a Bangladesh building that killed at least 87 people yesterday is prompting renewed calls for retailers and clothing companies to ensure the safety of workers in the Asian nation. An eight-story building housing several garment factories collapsed near Bangladesh's capital Wednesday morning, killing at least 87 people and trapping many more in a jumbled mess of shattered concrete and bricks, officials said. 

Amazon.com's Quidsi unit yesterday unveiled Look.com, a new site that's designed to sell children's apparel and footwear. It marks the latest move by Quidsi into the arena of family and home-oriented products, including Wag.com (pet products); Casa.com (home products) and Diapers.com (baby products). Look.com is selling an array of 40,000 products, segmented by age and gender. Brands such as Carter's, Joe's Jeans, Columbia Sportswear and others are represented. The move could have implications for another Seattle e-commerce retailer, Zulily.
