Walgreens is pulling a wrapping paper print from it shelves a day after a Southern California woman complained about finding swastikas in the design, a company spokesman said Sunday.
The woman, Cheryl Shapiro, said she was shopping in the Hanukkah section of a store in Northridge when she found a geometric blue-and-silver pattern that had lines connecting in the shape of the Nazi symbol.
The rolls were removed from the store after she complained to managers.
Walgreens said other stores were following suit.

Give me a break. I am offended by this woman taking offense.
It doesn’t look like it’s supposed to be a swastika.
At least people still see the shape for what it has been made to be!
And I’m offended by any pictures of crosses…. At the end of the day, Walgreens loses basically nothing by taking these off the shelves and are only avoiding crazy ladies and ADL shoutouts…. Stinks that this is probably the “smart” reaction….
Looks like the Parthenon, upside down.
Why are you all complaining I think it’s very nice that they took this womens sensitivity seriously
Um, one would have to use a lot of imagination for that design to resemble a swastika in one’s mind.
I don’t see it. Somebody help me out here. It does sort of resemble a Mayan design. Not too Jewish either, but where is the evil symbol, pray tell?
