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 „Við þrífumst ekki til lengdar ein“ Innlent Allt í rugli á Rauðahafi Erlent Von á allhvössum vindi og rigningu Veður Carney og Frjálslyndir fóru með sigur af hólmi Erlent Rafmagn að koma aftur á: Íslendingar lýsa mikilli óvissu Erlent Reyndu að brjótast inn í hraðbanka Innlent Allt að komast í samt lag á Spáni og í Portúgal Erlent Hafi verið látinn fljúga þrátt fyrir þekkt andleg veikindi Innlent Mikilvægt að vera betri í bakgarðinum en óvelkomnir gestir Innlent Foreldrar eigi að byrja á því að setja sjálfum sér skjátíma Innlent
