We face significant competition from other consumer products companies, many of which have significantly greater financial resources. Our sales and financial results may be adversely affected if our new product launches are not successful. Sales of some of our products may suffer because of unfavorable weather conditions. We rely on third-party manufacturers for a portion of our product portfolio. We may be adversely affected by pricing and availability of raw materials. We may be adversely affected by the trend toward retail trade consolidation, which may further our reliance on a few large customers. Possible acquisitions are subject to risks and may not be successful. We may be adversely affected by governmental regulations that may materially restrict or impede our operations. We have a material amount of goodwill, trademarks, patents and other intangible assets, as well as other long-lived assets, which, if they become impaired, would result in a reduction in our net income. We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. We may face liability associated with the use of products for which patent ownership or other intellectual property rights are claimed. We have substantial debt, which could impair our financial condition. The terms of our revolver and our indentures may limit certain activities.
