Product liability insurance provides protection against bodily injury and property damage losses arising out of some defect in products sold, manufactured, or distributed.
This means that if your business plays part in the supply chain of a product, whether it be in sales, distribution, installation, or manufacturing, you should be aware of the necessity for product liability insurance.
Even if you believe your business to be faultless, you could still be sued over a product defect in an item you sold or even find yourself responsible for legal defense costs in a suit. A customer could also claim that your business provided insufficient warnings or inaccurate instructions related to your product leading to a recall.
If a product injures a customer or is labeled incorrectly, the manufacturer, the distributor, the designer, and the retailer can all be held liable for the resulting damages as well as recall costs.
Product liability insurance protects you if a product you sold or produced leads to:

Insurance Canopy’s agents helped me before I even knew I needed help! They made the process swift and easy and even helped me fix some mistakes I made with addresses. I would highly recommend Insurance Canopy! GREAT WORK!

“We were having a picnic at our local event place. We wanted a band to play for us but the venue said we needed insurance for the band so they could play. It was my first time getting insurance for a band. Insurance Canopy came through for me and even included additional wording the venue was asking for on the certificate. The price was even better than the local insurance was asking for, and I got the certificate in a matter of minutes which I simply forwarded to the venue. Next time, I know what to do! Thank you Insurance Canopy.”
