Abstract: Isbell and Semadeni [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 107 (1963)] proved that every infinite-dimensional $1$-injective Banach space contains a hyperplane that is $(2+varepsilon)$-injective for every $varepsilon>0$, yet is is emph{not} $2$-injective and remarked in a footnote that Pe{l}czy'nski had proved for every $lambda>1$ the existence of a $(lambda+varepsilon)$-injective space ($varepsilon>0$) that is not $lambda$-injective. Unfortunately, no trace of the proof of Pe{l}czy'nski's result has been preserved. In the present paper, we establish the said theorem for $lambdain(1,2]$ by constructing an appropriate renorming of $el{l}_{i}nfty$. This contrasts (at least for real scalars) with the case $lambda=1$ for which Lindenstrauss [Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 48 (1964)] proved the contrary statement.
