Yes, the can is labelled properly, but the shelf-edge label is deceptive.  
Complain to state inspectors.  The quart is a defined term under US law, not 
whatever the hell substandard amount the store wishes to pretend it is.

Subject: [USMA:50616] Reduced standard sized

I was amazed when I went to buy paint today that the supposed Quart container 
was no longer a quart of paint, I think the can is the same size, it's just 
less 
inside.  A US quart is 946 mL, these cans ranged from 840 mL to 916 mL to 931 
mL.  Most people don't realize they are getting less. 


Notice the shelf label still states Quart of whatever paint! Shortchanged?
