Arbonne Announces Voluntary Recall of One Lot of SeaSource Detox Spa^® Foaming Sea Salt Scrub

Irvine, CA (September 3, 2009) – Arbonne International, LLC (“Arbonne”) has voluntarily recalled one lot of its SeaSource Detox Spa^® Foaming Sea Salt Scrub. The recalled products were manufactured by a third party and distributed nationwide through Arbonne Independent Consultants. The product comes in a 6.8 fluid oz white tube and is identified with a lot number on the crimping at the top of the tube. The SeaSource Detox Spa Foaming Sea Salt Scrub products affected by this voluntary recall are ONLY from the following lot number (with shipping dates ranging from March 28, 2008 to July 15, 2009):

Z928

This voluntary recall was initiated by Arbonne as a result of discovering the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in the recalled lot. No other lots are affected. The organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa may cause dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, and a variety of system infections, particularly with users who are immunosuppressed. Because the Foaming Sea Salt Scrub is used to exfoliate the skin’s surface, there is a possibility that inadvertent introduction of the tainted product directly into any skin abrasions could result in infection.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with this product.

Purchasers of the recalled product lot are advised not to use it. Arbonne will, at the purchaser’s choice, replace or exchange the product or refund money paid for the recalled product. In order to replace or exchange product or receive a refund, Arbonne is requesting purchasers of the recalled product lot to contact Arbonne at 1.800.ARBONNE between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pacific time weekdays and between the hours of 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pacific time on Saturdays, and have the product with the recalled lot number available to return to Arbonne in order to complete the transaction. This voluntary recall was initiated by Arbonne and is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Arbonne Appoints Katherine Napier as New CEO
Former senior marketing and operations executive at McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble tapped to lead global growth initiatives and strengthen the company’s position as a leader in the direct selling industry

Irvine, CA – Arbonne International, LLC (Arbonne) today announced Katherine “Kay” Napier has joined the company as its new Chief Executive Officer. Napier will lead all key facets of Arbonne’s global business while reinvigorating the company's focus on its core principles, established almost 30 years ago: to create products that are pure, safe and beneficial. Arbonne creates opportunities for people seeking meaningful financial, social, cultural and intellectual rewards; and encourages all members of the organization to contribute locally, nationally and internationally to the improvement of our ecological, social and cultural environment.

“Kay brings the vision, experience and insight required to lead Arbonne through its next phase of growth,” said Ira Kleinman, Arbonne’s Chairman. “Kay impressed us with her ability to leverage and build upon organizational strengths to drive success. While Kay has deep grounding in marketing and development, she also brings a high level of operating experience, which will be critical to Arbonne's long-term growth. We are very pleased to welcome her to the team.” “I consider it a privilege and a great opportunity to lead Arbonne’s employees and Consultants worldwide at this important time for the company. There has never been a better time for the terrific combination of pure and beneficial products shared by motivated, talented women,” said Napier. Napier most recently held the position of Senior Vice President, Marketing for McDonald’s. While at McDonald’s, she led the reinvention of its Happy Meal business, directed the development of its “go active” product and marketing initiatives, and deepened the brand's connection with women and families through the roll-out of information about healthier living and the development of healthier product choices. Both were key elements of a highly-successful global repositioning effort. Critical to the success of those initiatives was Napier's close collaboration with McDonald’s highly-developed network of independent franchisees. While at McDonald’s, Napier also led the company's renewed growth in Europe, which resulted from stronger marketing direction, greater communication and collaboration across the continent and the development of new product offerings that better positioned the company on the leading edge of key consumer trends.

Prior to McDonald’s, Napier retired from Procter & Gamble as Vice President, North America Pharmaceuticals and Corporate Women’s Health and Vitality, culminating a 23 year career at the consumer products leader. Among her many accomplishments, Napier spearheaded the development and marketing of Procter & Gamble's Actonel osteoporosis drug, which transformed the company's pharmaceutical business. Napier also encouraged the company to place greater focus on women's health and well being, establishing a major retail women’s health program and building business across product lines in health, beauty care, feminine protection and nutrition. Throughout her career, Napier has been guided by the principle that educated, driven women represent enormous untapped potential. The sales force she led at Procter & Gamble consisted of over one thousand representatives, with many women in leadership roles. Napier also credits much of McDonald’s business turnaround to the leadership of the women’s franchisee network, with whom she shared a close collaboration. Napier earned a Masters of Business Administration from Xavier University and a Bachelor of Arts in economics and studio fine arts from Georgetown University. She currently sits on the Board of Trustees of Xavier University, as well as the Boards of Directors of both Hill-Rom Holdings and the Exact Sciences Corporation. Napier has also served on the Board of Directors of Alberto Culver, a beauty company, for the last three years.
