We may experience unanticipated start-up expenses and production delays in opening new facilities. Our substantial international sales and operations are subject to customary risks associated with international operations. If we are unable to develop new products on a timely basis, it could adversely affect our business and prospects. A shortage or price increases in our raw materials could increase our operating costs. Certain environmental risks may cause us to be liable for costs associated with hazardous or toxic substance clean-up which may adversely affect our financial condition. We are subject to numerous governmental regulations, which may be burdensome or lead to significant costs. We may be required to defend lawsuits or pay damages in connection with alleged or actual harm caused by our products.
