ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., Nov. 10 (UPI) -- A Florida woman said she was shocked to find the Christmas wrapping paper she recently purchased was decorated with swastikas.

Casey Lehman of Seminole County said the wrapping paper, which she purchased at Dollar Mania in the Altamonte Mall, was covered in symbols that her mother and fiance agreed were Nazi swastikas, WESH-TV, Orlando, reported Tuesday.

"If I had sent this out on my Christmas gifts and someone had pointed it out to me I would have been mortified. I would have been really embarrassed," Lehman said.

The manager of the store said he was unaware of the wrapping paper until notified by WESH-TV. He said the wrapping paper, which was no longer at the store, was purchased from wholesalers and he plans to speak with his suppliers to prevent future incidents.
