A general economic downturn or sudden disruption in business conditions may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items and/or the financial strength of our customers that are retailers, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Changes in laws, regulations and policies that affect our business could adversely affect our financial results.
Our success depends, in part, on the quality and safety of our products.
Our success depends, in part, on our key personnel.
We are subject to risks related to our international operations.
A disruption in operations could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Our information systems and websites may be susceptible to outages and other risks.
We are subject to risks associated with implementing global information systems.
The trading prices of our securities periodically may rise or fall based on the accuracy of predictions of our earnings or other financial performance.
