If the Company is unable to maintain adequate ICFR or establish an effective control environment, its consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, and it could be required to revise or restate its financial results. Such events could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, restrict its ability to access the capital markets, require it to expend significant resources to address control deficiencies, subject it to fines, penalties, or judgments, harm its reputation, or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Strikes or work stoppages or labor unrest can cause our business to suffer.

Some employees of our third-party business partners that are involved in the manufacturing, production, or distribution of our products are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and other such employees may seek to be covered by collective bargaining agreements. Strikes or work stoppages or other business interruptions may occur if the third parties that are involved in the manufacturing, production and distribution of our products are unable to renew, or enter into new, collective bargaining agreements on satisfactory terms. These disruptions can impair the manufacturing and distribution of our products, interrupt product supply or lead to a loss of sales. They may also increase our costs, or otherwise affect our ability to fully implement future operational changes to enhance our efficiency or to adapt to changing business needs or strategy. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
