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 Það sem við vitum og vitum ekki um manndrápið hrottalega Innlent Sólrún fundin á Spáni Innlent Prestur sakar oddvita um ólýðræðislega hallarbyltingu í veiðifélagi Innlent Stoppaður af vegfaranda sem spurði: „Hvað er þetta?“ Innlent Rannsaka dráp á sjúkraliðum en neita að þeir hafi verið teknir af lífi Erlent Enn skjálftahrina við Trölladyngju Innlent Dregur úr skjálftavirkni í kvikugangi en hrina í Trölladyngju fannst víða Innlent Vaka jók við meirihlutann í stúdentaráði Innlent Ekkert spurst til Sólrúnar á Spáni í nokkra daga Innlent Viðbúnaður í Vesturbæ vegna leitar Innlent
