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 „Eins og að fá hnefahögg í andlitið“ Innlent Íbúar mótmæla og vilja börn frekar en byggingu í Gunnarsbrekku Innlent Eygir vonarneista í fyrsta sinn í marga mánuði Innlent Bílvelta í Kömbunum Innlent Sveitarstjórn reyni að skrá íbúa úr sveitarfélaginu og ógni grundvallarréttindum Innlent Segir dregið úr veiðum á grundvelli „Walt Disneylíffræði“ Innlent Lögregla kölluð til eftir að bremsuvírar voru klipptir á reiðhjólum barna Innlent Árborg girnist svæði Flóahrepps Innlent Hleypur 110 kílómetra á dag til að setja heimsmet Lífið Brunarústirnar fjarlægðar tveimur árum eftir brunann Innlent
