The 5,000 tea cups, which feature a faded stamp of Hitler's side profile together with pink roses and calligraphy, had been on sale at the German housewares and furniture chain Zurbruggen for €1.99 (US$2.75).

 

"Our workers are dismayed and embarrassed, the producer has apologized for the error, and we have apologized to our customers for this terrible mistake that resulted from a chain of unfortunate circumstances," the store owner said in a statement, adding that all customers who return the cups will receive a €20 (US$27.75) gift voucher as compensation.
