Eye Care Recalls

In May 2007, we initiated a global recall of the MoisturePlus multipurpose formulation after being informed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an association of this product with Acanthamoeba keratitis. The 2007 Recall resulted in a provision for sales returns of $41.5 million and charges totaling $67.5 million, which comprised $37.5 million in costs of goods sold for impairment of inventory and distribution costs, $29.7 million in selling, general and administrative costs associated with public relations, communication, investigation, processing and handling of distributor and end-customer reimbursements and $0.3 million in research and development costs. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $0.4 million in accrued liabilities and no remaining balance in accrued sales returns associated with the 2007 Recall.

In November 2006, we voluntarily recalled certain eye care product lots caused by a production-line issue at our manufacturing plant in China (“2006 Recall”). The 2006 Recall resulted in a provision for sales returns of $9.5 million and charges totaling $15.4 million, which comprised $9.5 million in cost of goods sold for impairment of inventory, distribution and disposal costs and $5.9 million in selling, general and administrative costs associated with public relations, communication, investigation, processing and handling of distributor and end-customer reimbursements in 2006. In fiscal 2007, we recorded a provision for sales returns of $0.2 million and charges totaling $4.5 million, which comprised $2.1 million in costs of goods sold for impairment of inventory, distribution and disposal costs, $2.1 million in selling, general and administrative costs associated with public relations, communication, investigation, and processing and handling of distributor and end-customer reimbursements and $0.3 million in non-operating expenses. As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $4.5 million in accrued liabilities and $6.7 million in accrued sales returns associated with the 2006 Recall. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, management did not expect any further significant spending impact from the 2006 Recall.

Management continues to review its estimates of the overall recall costs which could result in additional charges in the future.
