Estee Lauder is absolutely and totally wrong. This company was in the forefront of the TABD campaign that led to the delay of the metric only directive. The TABD spokeswoman on this matter is from Estee Lauder. She justified the OZ LIQ nonsense with Canadian language requirements wich demand that products must be labelled in English and French. But that does not mean that Canada demands ifp labelling. In an answer I explained to her that it did not include units of measurement, but EL did not do away with the OZ LIQ. I wonder why, if there is no need for this 'Franco-American' unit at all and it is not used in any French speaking area in the world..
