Some of the Company’s products are subject to specified warranties and the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties. The adequacy of the warranty liabilities is assessed regularly and the reserve is adjusted as necessary based on a review of historic warranty experience with respect to the applicable business or products, as well as the length and actual terms of the warranties. The product warranty reserve is included in current and long-term accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.
