Plain language answers.

Does it pay to recall or replace my product?

Not automatically. Product recall costs, warranty obligations and the cost to repair your own defective product are often outside standard product liability coverage. Separate options may be needed.

Can a retailer be named in a product claim?

Yes. Claims can involve several businesses in the supply chain. Describe what you sell, where it comes from and whether it carries your brand.

Is online selling included?

It depends on the policy, products, sales territories and other details. Tell us about marketplaces, overseas sales, imported goods and fulfillment arrangements before relying on coverage.

Coverage availability depends on operations, underwriting and the policy’s terms, limits, deductibles, conditions and exclusions. Descriptions are general education, not a coverage determination. Coverage is not bound by submitting an inquiry.
