By Jessica Wohl (Reuters) - An accord designed to prevent another deadly disaster in Bangladesh`s garment industry drew sharp criticism from a major U.S. retail trade group on Wednesday, which said it would constrain legal rights of U.S. companies, even as more European retailers signed on to the pact.
