Plant Closure [Abstract]  
Plant Closure
NOTE 7 – PLANT CLOSURE
 
During the second quarter of 2011 we ceased production operations in our Chinese manufacturing plant. Since production operations ceased, we have continued to acquire inventory similar to that previously produced by this facility from alternative product sourcing channels. In conjunction with the plant closing, we incurred total costs of $11.0 million for the first nine months of 2011. We incurred $7.5 million in compensation expense for severance packages for the termination of approximately 1,500 employees. We recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of $1.5 million related to the reversal of our foreign currency cumulative translation adjustment, which is classified as a selling, general and administrative expense. The remaining $2.0 million related to an inventory valuation loss, accelerated depreciation, and other general and administrative costs.
