I gues it would depend how extreme each one was. I would avoid brands that sell defective products without thinking of it as a boycott.  [ send green star]

(1) A company that produce a defective product and knew it was defective?
Yes.

(2) A company that produce at defective product and did not know it was defective?
Not before trying other measures.

(3) A company that treats it employees poorly?
Yes!

(4) A company that hires illeagel immigrants?
Depends.

(5) A company that make the best line of one product you want but does atleast one of the above (1) to (4)?
Again, it depends. I'd have to weigh everything out. I would try to contact someone affiliated and present my issues with them, depending on the results/reply, I would then make the decision.

Probably not.  Well, maybe the company knowingly producing a defective product.  I might write to them, and give them time to mend their ways.   [ send green star]  [ accepted]

Probably because of 1,3,4 and maybe 5!  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

1) Yes

2) If they didn't listen when told is was defective, yes

3) Yes! I can't stand mistreating employees

4) Depends on how they treat them

5) I'd have to weigh it up
