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 Sárnar hvernig fjölskyldunni bárust tíðindin hörmulegu Innlent Nafn stúlkunnar sem lést Innlent Eyða ekki tíma í að eltast við sögusagnir Innlent Bjarni segir brottvísunina standa Innlent Banaslys á byggingarsvæði í Árborg Innlent Lífvarðaþjónustan segist meðvituð um tíst Musk um Biden og Harris Erlent „Ég er nauðgari eins og hinir mennirnir hér inni“ Erlent Telur litlar líkur á að Yazan verði vísað úr landi Innlent Bjóst ekki við því að þurfa á svartri vinnu að halda í ellinni Innlent Finnum sérstaklega til þegar börn eigi í hlut Innlent
