Perhaps THIS is a unique way of defeating the ongoing process of Metrication
in US. Wrong label;s do convey WRONG messages to 'little minds' who intend
to learn it right.
Remove the EXTRA 'k' in 453 kg & the picture speak sense, I suppose.

Be careful about complaining - they might just take you up and deliver
another 999 packets of Oxi Clean. :-)

My wife bought a larger container of Oxi Clean, I was curious how large
the old one was...well it turns out the new larger box contains much less
than the old smaller container. How did they get almost half a tonne into
that little container? How did my wife manage to actually carry it home
from the store all by her self? Perhaps an even better question would be
how did that type of mistake go unnoticed? If they had put "16 000 OZ
(1000 lb)" right next to 453 kg I bet that would have been noticed.
