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 „Fyrst hélt ég að þetta væri eitthvað grín“ Innlent Varðstjóri leystur undan vinnuskyldu vegna gruns um njósnir Innlent Þrír látnir eftir skotárás í Uppsölum Erlent „Viltu ekki tala við mig eins og ég sé gamalmenni“ Innlent „Í guðanna bænum höldum vöku okkar við aksturinn" Innlent „Við þrífumst ekki til lengdar ein“ Innlent Njósnaaðgerðir sagðar tengjast deilum tveggja af auðugustu mönnum landsins Innlent Furðar sig á umdeildri Exit-auglýsingu og hækkar veiðigjöldin Innlent Ný stjórn Ríkisútvarpsins kjörin Innlent Selfyssingar buðu lægst í brúasmíði á Vestfjörðum Innlent
