Our business is subject to risks arising from pandemics.
Pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic pose the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers and other partners may be limited or prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Additionally, we may experience raw material supply disruptions.
Pandemics and related government measures could adversely affect our business and results of operations, potentially materially.

In addition, we maintain other insurance policies for general liability and product contamination, among others. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or will provide adequate compensation for losses that we may incur.

If we are unable to prevent such breaches or flaws, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer financial damage or loss because of lost or misappropriated information.
