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 Skip úr skuggaflotanum hægði grunsamlega mikið á sér Erlent Reyndu að ræna hraðbanka Innlent Áfengissala á helgidögum þjóðkirkjunnar stöðvuð af lögreglu Innlent Komu hesti til bjargar úr gjótu Innlent Rússar vara við því að hrapað sé að ályktunum áður en rannsókn lýkur Erlent Hættulega heitir dagar fleiri og mannskæðari en áður Erlent Holtavörðuheiði enn lokuð Innlent Icelandair skoðar næstu skref í þróun flugflotans Innlent Spáir stillu og miklu svifryki um áramótin Veður Margt bendi til að Rússar hafi haft aðkomu að flugslysinu Erlent
