No.1 Mart in Manukau said in a statement there would be a recall on the tattoo packets and they would be returned to the supplier. Both staff and management were previously "unaware of what the sign represented", the statement added.
Anthony Smith was shopping with his four-year-old daughter on Sunday when he came across the packet that included a Nazi-styled eagle perched over a swastika. He said his initial response was 'what the f***?'
"I had a look and yeah, it was an actual swastika with an eagle, next to peace signs weirdly enough." No.1 Mart thanked Smith for bringing it to their attention and apologised to all parents. "Our store stocks many products and it is not our aim to offend anyone."

Last summer, this contracted salesman came to my job to pitch his ultimate steak knife set/portrait sitting/car wax or whatnot. Everything was fine til he got warm, removed his suit coat and revealed his silk shirt with a giant silver Reichsadler across the shoulders.
Anyone who saw it immediately froze in disbelief.
Some "urban" fashion designer had the bright idea of using Nazi imagery but with the designers logo in place of the Swastika to make it "less offensive;" i had to google the shirt afterwards!
It didn't work (much like his ultimate steak knives).
Abercrombie and Fitch?
