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 Veðurvaktin: Snjókoman rétt að byrja og víða erfið færð Veður Snjókoman rétt að byrja Innlent Bílar út af veginum á Reykjanesbraut Innlent Ungur Miðflokksmaður gengst við rasisma og segir af sér Innlent Ráðgjafinn ráðinn í tímabundið starf eftir dýra skreppitúra Innlent Skvísur geti virkað sem hálfgerðir þroskaþjófar Innlent Játar að hafa myrt Shinzo Abe Erlent Viðbragðsaðilar í mikilli hættu vegna bíla á sumardekkjum Innlent Búast við hamförum vegna Melissu Erlent Allur floti Vegagerðar úti að ryðja snjó Veður
