Towel Taken Off Market 22. júní 2006 13:06 Household goods store Rúmfatalagerinn has pulled a brand of towel from their shelves after it was brought to light that the towels might be made from child labour. The towels, made by the company Capri, are exported to Iceland from the Danish company Jysk, who buy them directly from the manufacturer. A few days ago, Danish television indicated that this manufacturer engages in child labour. "We have no interest in selling such goods," said Rúmfatalagerinn general manager Magnús Kjartan Sigurðsson. "The moment it was brought to our attention that there was some problem with this towel we took it off the shelves immediately." Department store Hagkaup has followed suit, by taking these towels off their shelves as well. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Funduðu aftur fram að miðnætti: „Vont að þingmenn stjórnarandstöðunnar séu móðgaðir“ Innlent Kvikugangur talinn ná langleiðina að flugvallarstæði Hvassahrauns Innlent Hinir handteknu alveg ótengdir Innlent Erlendir ferðamenn gripnir glóðvolgir Innlent Stöðvuðu smygl á tuttugu þúsund Oxycontin-töflum Innlent Stöðug og jöfn jarðskjálftavirkni Innlent Þurfa ekki að skila Stálskipaauðnum Innlent Þingkonur þjarma að heilbrigðisráðherra Innlent Alþingi hafi átt að vera upplýst Innlent Kvarta sáran yfir vopnakaupum Evrópu Erlent
