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 Skipt um lás hjá Sósíalistaflokknum Innlent Læknanemar látnir borga hagræðingarbrúsann Innlent Nemendur greiði tuttugu þúsund krónum meira í Strætó en starfsfólk Innlent „Þetta er ekkert líf“ Innlent Sanna og Gunnar Smári höfðu betur á æsingarfundi Innlent Foreldrar fjölbura fá lengra fæðingarorlof Innlent Náðu með markaðsátaki að lokka til sín fleiri smærri leiðangursskip Innlent Strandveiðisjómaður lést Innlent Annað útkall vegna strandveiðibáts úti fyrir Patreksfirði Innlent Unglingsstúlka lést þegar hestur dró hana eftir jörðinni Erlent
