Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

Woodridge Labs, Inc. (“Woodridge Labs”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextera Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), has voluntarily recalled all lots of its DermaFreeze365™ Instant Line Relaxing Formula (UPC Codes 6-05923-36501-6, 6-05923-36502-3 and 6-05923-10563-6) and DermaFreeze365™ Neck & Chest (UPC Code 6-05923-36503-0) products.  This recall was a result of certain products from two lots testing positive for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, exposure to which may result in potential illness for persons who are immuno-compromised.  Woodridge Labs is working with the third party manufacturer of the affected products to identify the source of the contamination in order to ensure that DermaFreeze365™ Instant Line Relaxing Formula and Neck & Chest products will be safe for future use.

This issue was discovered during the Woodridge Labs’ routine testing process, the results of which were known to Woodridge Labs on March 12, 2007.  Woodridge Labs notified its retailers and distributors and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on March 13, 2007 and is in the process of implementing a full retail/pharmacy recall of the affected products.  Woodridge Labs believes that the affected products contain a discoloration that is visible to the naked eye.

The Company is in the process of quantifying the economic impact of the recall and is in discussions with its retailers, lenders and key financing sources to address the Company’s increased liquidity requirements associated with the recall.  There can be no assurance that such discussions will be successful, in which case the financial condition of the Company may be materially adversely impacted.  The Company will make a provision for the recall in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 to be filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
