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 Bylgja Dís er látin Innlent Fjárlög 2026: Ríkisstjórnin sýnir á spilin fyrir næsta ár Innlent Fjórar ungar vinkonur fórust í eldsvoða í Noregi Erlent Bera kennsl á mann fimmtíu árum eftir að hann lét sig hverfa Erlent Gestur Guðmundsson er látinn Innlent Daður við drengi sem verður kynferðislegt og endar með hótun Innlent „Mjög miður að við séum komin á þennan stað“ Innlent Fjórir af hverjum fimm vilja setja árlegt hámark á hælisleitendur Innlent Óttast verðhækkanir sem bitni á konum og barnafjölskyldum Innlent Ósáttur við skattana og hefði viljað loka fjárlagagatinu Innlent
