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 Hafi verið látinn fljúga þrátt fyrir þekkt andleg veikindi Innlent Réðust á tvo menn á göngu Innlent Vissu ekki að þeir væru að ræna Kim Kardashian Erlent Bogi les sinn síðasta fréttatíma á morgun Innlent Telur að Selenskí geti samþykkt að gefa eftir Krímskaga Erlent Rúmur helmingur óhress með Trump Erlent „Ég vildi óska að fólk gæti séð drenginn minn eins og hann er“ Innlent Hljóðheimur sumarsins í hættu: Mikil fækkun lóu og spóa Innlent Tekur við sem framkvæmdastjóri Bergsins Headspace Innlent Ökumaðurinn í Vancouver ákærður fyrir manndráp Erlent
