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 Kúgaðist og öskurgrét yfir lýsingum sonarins Innlent Ástandið verði gjörbreytt í fyrramálið Innlent Telur að of mikil saltnotkun geri moksturinn enn erfiðari Innlent Seðlabankinn rýmkar lánþegaskilyrði Innlent Orðin hæsta kirkja í heimi Erlent Langt í frá að málinu sé lokið Innlent Segja ríkislögreglustjóra þurfa að taka til hjá sér Innlent Íhugar ekki stöðu sína Innlent Andrés ekki lengur prins og látinn yfirgefa heimili sitt Erlent Hefði aldrei giskað á uppsagnir á hennar deild Innlent
