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 „Hér er ekki ódýr orka í neinum alþjóðlegum samanburði“ Innlent Læknir nýtti sér sjúkraskrár til að afla viðskiptavina Innlent „Kennarar eiga ekki að vera í einhverjum lögguhlutverki“ Innlent Setti byssukúlu í póstkassa: „Næsta kemur ekki í umslagi“ Innlent Stefnir Hödd vegna ásökunar um nauðgun Innlent Bandaríska utanríkisráðuneytið tjáir sig ekki um undirróðursherferð Erlent Gunnfaxi ekki á safnið nema annar þristur fáist á sandinn Innlent Lögreglan vill ná tali af þremur mönnum Innlent Stytta þurfi sumarfrí barna um að lágmarki tvær vikur Innlent Kjördæmapot og pólitískar sveiflur megi ekki ráða för Innlent
