Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Contingencies | 16. Contingencies The Company is party to certain outstanding legal proceedings, investigations and claims. These matters are described in the 2013 Form 10-K/A. As of the end of the period covered by this report, there had been no further material developments with respect to these matters other than as described below. As previously disclosed, at the time of its divestiture by the Company in 2012, the Company’s sports medicine subsidiary, Breg, Inc., was currently and had been engaged in the manufacturing and sales of motorized cold therapy units used to reduce pain and swelling. Several domestic product liability cases were filed in recent years, mostly in California state court, alleging that the use of cold therapy causes skin and/or nerve injury and seeking damages on behalf of individual plaintiffs who were allegedly injured by such units. In connection with the Company’s divestiture of Breg, the Company agreed to indemnify Breg’s acquirer for Breg’s pre-closing sales of cold therapy units and certain post-closing sales of cold therapy units. In September 2014, the Company entered into a master settlement agreement that resolves the pending claims with respect to all except one claim pending in a California coordinated proceeding concerning pre-closing sales. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company paid approximately $1.3 million, and additional amounts owed under the settlement were paid directly by the Company’s insurance providers. These amounts paid by the Company have been recorded as an expense during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company does not accrue for estimated legal fees and other directly related costs as they are expensed as incurred.
