These laws and regulations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). CERCLA imposes joint
and severable liability on each potentially responsible party. We are not a party to any proceedings arising under these
laws and regulations that we currently expect to have a material effect on our earnings or financial condition. As of
December 29, 2012, we were involved in 63 active proceedings in the United States under CERCLA (and other similar
state actions and legislation) related to our current operations and certain closed, inactive, or divested operations for which
we retain liability.
As of December 29, 2012, we had accrued an amount we deemed appropriate for environmental remediation. This
amount was insignificant to our balance sheet. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate
resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and
regulations will not have a material effect on our earnings or financial condition. However, it is difficult to predict with
certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remedial actions and thus future costs
associated with such matters may exceed current expectations.
Foreign Operations
We sell our products to consumers in the United States and Canada, and export our products to over 35 countries and
territories. We generated approximately 14% of our 2012 consolidated net revenues and 13% of our 2011 and 2010
consolidated net revenues outside the United States, primarily in Canada. For additional information about our foreign
operations, see Note 16, Segment Reporting, to the consolidated financial statements.
