What is the difference between Product Liability Insurance and General Liability Insurance?
General Liability Insurance provides protection in a wide range of cases where a third-party suffers injury or property damage either on your premises, or you or your employees cause damages on the third-party’s premises. Product liability only extends as far as such damages being caused by a product that you sold or manufactured. For example, if a customer were to be injured due to a slip n’ fall at your store, any subsequent insurance claim may be covered by general liability but not product liability.
Is Product Liability Insurance legally mandatory for retail and e-commerce stores?
In most industries, product liability insurance is not mandatory, however, it is strongly recommended, especially if you sell items that could easily result in claims. For example, food items may lead to food poisoning. Clothing items may also lead to skin reactions.
Does Product Liability Coverage cover damages to my stock and inventory?
No. All forms of liability insurance only cover damages to a third-party. Injuries to you and your employees, and damages to your assets, including stock and inventory, are not covered under Product Liability Insurance.

What is the cost of Cyber Liability Insurance?
Product Liability Insurance only covers third-party property damages or bodily injuries caused by a product you sell or manufacture. Any other damages to a third-party, such as slip-and-fall injuries, would be covered under a separate general liability insurance policy.
How much does Product Liability Insurance cost?

If you are a member of a distribution chain, ensure all suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors are adequately insured. Please discuss with your broker whether or not you need to add them to your policy. Conversely, make sure you are included as an additional insured on their policies, as you can be held responsible for product liability on their end, too
If you import or export products outside of North America, verify that the products are compliant with industry standards and that all labels contain the required and appropriate information.
Does Product Liability Insurance cover services?
