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 Vill skipta út borgarstjórnarflokknum en halda Hildi inni Innlent Hútar réðust inn til Sameinuðu þjóðanna og tóku ellefu starfsmenn í hald Innlent Biðjast ekki afsökunar Innlent Friðarsúlan „gagnslaus“ og megi alveg eins heita „woke-súlan“ Innlent Ferðamaður tekinn á tvö hundruð kílómetra hraða Fréttir Vilja losna við lífsýni sem tengt var Ásu Erlent Mótorhjólakappi fluttur á sjúkrahús eftir árekstur við framúrakstur Innlent Vilja reisa gervigreindarborgir á rústum Gasa Erlent Fer hörðum orðum um „óveðursskýið“ Jóhann Pál Innlent „Dökk að utan en mjólkurhvít að innan“ Innlent
