FAQs

Common questions.

Do retailers need product liability if they do not manufacture?

Yes. Retailers can be held liable for products they sell even if they did not manufacture them. This is especially important for imported products.

Is product liability included in general liability?

CGL policies include products-completed operations coverage, but limits and terms may not be adequate for businesses with significant product exposure. Dedicated product liability provides broader protection.

Does product liability cover product recalls?

Standard product liability covers claims for injury or damage. Product recall coverage is typically a separate endorsement covering recall-related expenses.
