Product Warranties
We provide product warranties with varying terms and durations for the majority of our products. We estimate our warranty reserve by considering historical and projected warranty claims, historical and projected cost-per-claim, and knowledge of specific product issues that are outside our typical experience. We record warranty expense in cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Product warranty claims not expected to occur within one year are included as part of other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table represents changes in our consolidated warranty reserve:

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we established a reserve for $3.8 related to a recall notice issued for certain aluminum cryobiological tanks (in the BioMedical segment) manufactured in our New Prague, Minnesota facility during a limited time period. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.
