Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any additional matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows. Environmental Liability. The Company has realized commitments attributable to environmental remediation activities primarily associated with former manufacturing sites of the Company's HPC segment. In coordination with local and federal regulatory agencies, we have conducted testing on certain sites, which have resulted in the identification of contamination that has been attributed to historical activities at the properties, resulting in the realization of incremental costs to be assumed by the Company towards the remediation of these properties and the recognition of an environmental remediation liability. We have not conducted invasive testing at all sites and locations and have identified an environmental remediation liability to the extent such remediation requirements have been identified and are considered estimable. As of July 2, 2023, there was an environmental remediation liability of $5.9 million, with $1.5 million included in Other Current Liabilities and $4.4 million included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of September 30, 2022, there was an environmental remediation liability of $8.8 million, with $4.7 million included in Other Current Liabilities and $4.1 million included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Product Liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate for aggregate exposure for such liabilities based upon probable loss from loss reports, individual cases, and losses incurred but not reported. As of July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $3.4 million in product liability, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Product Warranty. The Company recognizes an estimated liability for standard warranties on certain products when we recognize revenue on the sale of the warranted products. Estimated warranty costs incorporate replacement parts, products and delivery, and are recorded as a cost of goods sold at the time of product shipment based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, claims experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million of warranty accruals as of July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Product Safety Recall. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the HPC segment initiated voluntary product recalls in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC"), suspending sales of the affected products and issuing a stop sale with its customers. The Company has assessed the incremental costs attributable to the recall, including the anticipated returns from customers for existing retail inventory, write-off of inventory on hand, and other costs to facilitate the recall such as notification, shipping and handling, rework and destruction of affected products, as needed, and evaluated the probability of redemption. As a result, the Company recognized $6.2 million and $7.5 million as of July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position associated with the costs for the recalls. Additionally, the Company has indemnification provisions that are contractually provided by third parties for the affected products and as a result the Company has also recognized $7.1 million and $4.7 million as of July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, in Other Receivables on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position related to recovery from such indemnification provisions.
