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 Dæmdur fyrir sérstaklega hættulega líkamsárás Innlent Þurftu að búa í næstu götu við morðingja bróður síns Innlent Vildi drepa soninn svo hann kæmist til himna Innlent Kosningavaktin: Íslendingar ganga að kjörborðinu Innlent Alræmdi túristahópurinn tók líka yfir pítsustað Innlent Gefa út gula viðvörun fyrir allt landið vegna norðan áhlaups Veður Áfrýjun tólf ára fangelsisdóms vegna sjö þúsund króna hafnað Erlent „Þetta er auðvitað grafalvarlegt mál“ Innlent „Sænska ástandið“ orðið að norrænu Innlent Stór aurskriða féll við Eyrarhlíð Innlent
