Product Liability Coverage for your Business
When a product turns out to be defective, whether this is due to a design flaw, manufacturing issue, or labeling error, any business involved in its production, handling, or sale can be held legally responsible if that product causes injury or financial loss. This liability extends to all parties in the supply chain. As such, even if your company was not directly at fault, you could still face costly litigation simply for having handled a defective item at some point in time.
Because of this exposure, many major e-commerce platforms (including Amazon) have introduced mandatory insurance requirements for certain sellers. For example, Amazon requires third-party vendors who exceed US$10,000 in monthly sales to carry Commercial Goods Liability Insurance (CGL); safeguarding all parties against potentially defective or harmful goods.
