"I had no idea what to do," Shapiro told KNBC in Los Angeles. "I was really putting my foot down because I was appalled by this."

After Shapiro complained to managers, the paper was removed from shelves. Company spokesperson Phil Caruso said, “We are in the process of removing the product from our stores."

Caruso added he didn’t know how many rolls there were.
