Standard Product Warranty Disclosure [Abstract]  
Product Warranty Obligations
 
The Company records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale based upon historical warranty experience.  The majority of the Company’s products carry a lifetime warranty. The Company also records a liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and are reasonably estimated. However, the Company is continuously releasing new and more complex and technologically advanced products. Even though some of these products have a shorter warranty period, it is at least reasonably possible that products could be released with certain unknown quality or design problems resulting in higher than expected warranty and related costs. These costs could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition in the near term.  The Company’s current and non-current product warranty obligations are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes to the product warranty obligations for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
