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 Ótrúlegur árekstur: „Ég sá bara dekk og púströr“ Innlent Trump-liðar heita hefndum Erlent Ríkið situr á þúsundum hektara af framræstu votlendi Innlent Yfirlæknir gagnrýnir auglýsingu gegn lyfi við RS-veiru Innlent Sagði frá fyrirætlunum sínum í SMS-i fyrir morðið Erlent Skýrt að Ísland sé ekki griðastaður stríðsglæpamanna Innlent „Ég mun ekki sjá eftir honum“ Innlent Trump höfðar 15 milljarða dala mál gegn New York Times Erlent Frumvarp um afnám laga um orlof húsmæðra lagt fram í tíunda sinn Innlent „Þetta var vissulega ekki í starfslýsingunni“ Innlent
