  "summary": "LG Household & Health Care has sold its Avon North America business to Stratford Worldwide, an affiliate of global investment firm Regent, in order to shift its focus to K-beauty and wellness brands. The divestiture reflects changes in consumer purchasing behavior and distribution channels, and is part of LG's broader effort to reshape its global business portfolio. The company plans to expand its consumer touchpoints for its own beauty and wellness brands, Dr.Groot, Belif, and CNP, through retail and digital channels in North America. The sale also allows for greater cooperation between Avon's North American and international operations under a common strategic framework.",
