Through the date of these financial statements, one product liability case was dismissed with prejudice on October 1, 2018. There are no product litigation matters in which we are involved that are currently on appeal.
The claims, and in some instances the defense, of each of these lawsuits have been submitted to our insurance carriers that maintained insurance coverage during the applicable periods. We continue to maintain product liability insurance coverage with varying limits and deductibles. The following table provides information regarding our product liability insurance. Remaining insurance coverage is based on information received from our insurance provider (in millions).
