Product Warranty
Note 7 — Product Warranty
The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products. The Company accrues liabilities for warranty based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty claim experience in accordance with accounting rules for contingent liabilities. Should the Company become aware of a specific potential warranty claim for which liability is probable and reasonably estimable, a specific charge is recorded and accounted for accordingly. Adjustments are made quarterly to the accruals as claim data and historical experience change.
The following is a rollforward of the warranty accruals for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010:
