substance” under the CPSA and to ban it from commerce. The CPSC can file an action to seize and condemn an
“imminently hazardous consumer product” under the CPSA and may also order equitable remedies such as
recall, replacement, repair or refund for the product. The FHSA provides for the repurchase by the manufacturer
of articles that are banned.
Consumer product safety laws also exist in some states and cities within the United States and in many
international markets including Canada, Australia and Europe. We utilize independent third party laboratories
that employ testing and other procedures intended to maintain compliance with the CPSA, the FHSA, the FFA,
other applicable domestic and international product standards, and our own standards. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there can be no assurance that our products are or will be hazard free. Any material product recall or
other safety issue impacting our product could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition, depending on the product and scope of the recall, could damage our reputation and could negatively
affect sales of our other products as well.
The Children’s Television Act of 1990 and the rules promulgated thereunder by the United States Federal
Communications Commission, the rules and regulations of the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the laws of
certain other countries, also place limitations on television commercials during children’s programming and on
advertising in other forms to children, and on the collection of information from children, such as restrictions on
collecting information from children under the age of thirteen subject to the provisions of the Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act.
We maintain programs to comply with various United States federal, state, local and international
requirements relating to the environment, health, safety and other matters.
