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 Eiginmaður íslenskrar konu lét sig hverfa rétt eftir brúðkaupið Innlent „Það er ódýrast og best og fljótlegast að kála þessum dýrum“ Innlent Fundu lík karlmanns í Reynisfjalli Innlent Kona réðst að sjö ára dreng við Smáraskóla Innlent „Ég hefði bara sagt af mér á staðnum“ Innlent Hafa „góða hugmynd“ hvar og hvenær stúlkunni var ráðinn bani Innlent Fjórir í bílnum en enginn við stýrið Innlent Skerjafjarðarskáldið krefst afsökunarbeiðni – annars fer það í mál Innlent Yazan afar létt að vera ekki vísað frá landi Innlent Kona á níræðisaldri sá björninn í þriggja metra fjarlægð Innlent
