The National Advertising Division (NAD) has recommended that sunscreen brand Vacation revise how its "World's Best-Smelling Sunscreen" slogan appears on its website, following a complaint from German beauty conglomerate Beiersdorf, which owns competing sunscreen brands Coppertone and Eucerin.

Vacation has since adjusted some references to the slogan on its website. {Ahead of the Kirb}
