Product Recall
Product recall insurance is an optional endorsement that can be added to a business insurance policy to help protect a company from financial losses associated with a product recall. It can cover a range of expenses, including:
Direct recall costs
Replacement costs
Loss of revenue or contract
Consultancy costs
Third-party financial loss
Notification of customers
Shipping costs
Warehouse and storage expense
Cost to dispose of products
Cost of extra personnel required to conduct the recall
Product recall insurance can be triggered by actual or imminent bodily injury or property damage. It can cover a recall that is voluntary or involuntary, such as when a government agency requires it. However, it does not cover customer lawsuits resulting from the recall.
