Every now and then there are news reports about a manufacturer recalling its products due to either some safety issues or even when product is otherwise defective in some way. Quite a few companies specially those dealing with consumer products have had to recall products. When it happens, there are numerous direct costs associated with such recalls that could be devastating for a business’ cash flows and profitability.  In addition, there may be third party obligations if a product has caused damage or even injury to individuals / businesses / government entities.

We could guide you about the right type of triggers such as whether policy wordings are such that cover is triggered only by actual damage due to a defective product or could be triggered if only the potential of injury / damage becomes known. Obviously, the latter is broader cover.
