Product Recall Insurance
Because someone always complains.
Product Recall Insurance
Product recall insurance is designed to protect businesses from the significant costs associated with recalling a product from the market. This can be necessitated by various reasons, such as safety concerns, product contamination, manufacturing defects, regulatory actions, or potential harm to consumers. The insurance typically covers expenses related to notifying customers of the recall, the logistics of returning, repairing, or destroying the product, replacement costs, as well as potential third-party liabilities and legal fees.
How does it apply to you?
For startups and scaleup companies involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or sale of consumer goods, product recall insurance can be particularly vital. Introducing a new product to the market often involves significant investment in research, development, and marketing. However, even with rigorous quality controls, unforeseen issues can emerge post-launch. Consider a tech gadget that poses a fire risk due to a battery flaw or a food product found to contain a harmful contaminant. The financial ramifications of recalling such products, combined with potential reputational damage, can be devastating for growing companies.
Explained
Product recall insurance provides a buffer against these challenges. It not only helps manage the immediate financial blow of a recall but also offers resources for damage control. Some policies might even cover costs associated with public relations campaigns aimed at rehabilitating a company's image post-recall. In the competitive business environment where startups and scaleup companies operate, the assurance that a product mishap won't lead to crippling financial losses can be crucial for long-term viability.

How much cover
do you need?
Product recall can often be a difficult policy to get right in terms of the level of cover required. That being said, under distribution, wholesale and retail contracts, you may often find that an amount is pre-specified by your customer should one of your products need to be recalled.
Otherwise, a calculation can often be arrived at by working backwards from your cost of production for the items, which will need to include costs of shipping and the handling fees that may occur. Contact Us
