It really doesn't matter whether they like metric. Dual is the law and their label fails to comply with the law.
I can't weigh it to the 40 mg level. At best, I can weigh to the nearest gram, and that is probably dubious. But that really isn't material either; their label does not meet the legal requirements. If they knew and complied with the law, they could make the decision whether to go for a net contents of 1.75 oz. or 50 g.
