Yes, I see this as a great long-term threat. If the US manages to "shove" the ifp into the Pan American labelling then the "only 4%" of the world population will suddenly gain the support of the entire American continent. This will be a big BANG which should not happen. I just bought yesterday a bottle of "Febreeze" (P&G USA!). I really liked the label which was trilingual (E,F,S) and the bottle was 1L with ifp in brackets. I see this style only as an interim solution which will suggest the population that ifp is on the go. However this label style should not become a Pan American label just by adding Portughese. Ifp has to disappear when extending in South America. My suggestion is to first ammend the FPLA to require mandatory metric labelling and allowing other units in brackets. The following step would create a NAFTA space labelling with metric only and EVENTUALLY allowing explanatory packaging size outside the official size indication. Ex: one could allow the floozies in the (English) text of the product description but maintain the official size in SI and free of brackets or slashes.
