Loss Contingencies [Line Items]

Contingent Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block]

As of August 4, 2018, the Company had accrued charges for legal contingencies, including the certain legal matters detailed below, of approximately $23 million, which are classified within accrued expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The estimated liability represents what the Company believes to be reasonable estimates of the loss exposures related to its legal matters. Actual liabilities may differ from the amounts recorded, due to uncertainties regarding final settlement agreement negotiations, actual claims rate experience, court approvals and the terms of any approval by the courts, and there can be no assurance that final resolution of legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
