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.
