"When it comes to the population of Great Britain being invited ...to wipe their bottoms on what appears to be the work of a Knight of the Realm without his permission," a Pentaplex representative stated, "then a last stand must be taken." A spokesman at the company's U.S. headquarters noted that after its 1995 merger with Scott Paper, the license for Kleenex bathroom tissue was sold to another manufacturer.
