requirements. In general, we seek certifications of compliance, representations and warranties,
indemnification and/or insurance from our suppliers and contract manufacturers. However, even with
adequate insurance and indemnification, any claims of non-compliance could significantly damage our
reputation and consumer confidence in products we sell. In addition, the failure of such products to comply
with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or
require us to recall or remove such products from our stores. In order to comply with applicable statutes and
regulations, our suppliers and contract manufacturers have from time to time reformulated, eliminated or
relabeled certain of their products and we have revised certain provisions of our sales and marketing
program.
