                 MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. COMMENTS ON PERGO CLAIM

Calhoun, Georgia, July 3, 2002 - On June 24, 2002, Pergo Inc. & Pergo (Europe)
(collectively, "Pergo"), filed a complaint against certain flooring companies
including Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE:MHK), alleging patent infringement.
Mohawk believes Pergo's infringement claims against Mohawk are without merit and
intends to vigorously defend against them. Moreover, Mohawk believes that
Pergo's claims, even in the unlikely event that they are successful, will not
have a material adverse effect on Mohawk or its operations as Mohawk is
indemnified by a third party.
