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 Stúlka í sjóinn við Reynisfjöru Innlent Stóra tjaldið fellt og hætt við brennuna vegna óveðurs Innlent „Það var töluvert verra veður en spáin sagði“ Innlent Að bugast á hálf nöktum ferðamönnum og beita sektum Erlent Stúlka flutt á sjúkrahús eftir fall í sjóinn við Reynisfjöru Innlent „Fordæmalaus hitabylgja“ leikur Skandínava grátt Erlent „Varla gangfær“ og „skulfu eins og hríslur“ Innlent Klíndu límmiðum á Ormsson sem versla ekki einu sinni við Rapyd Innlent „Manneskja sem er komin á þetta plan hlýtur að vera rökþrota“ Innlent Herjólfur siglir ekki meira í dag Innlent
