What is product recall insurance?

Product Recall Insurance is designed to cover the wide range of costs a business faces if a product it manufactures, supplies, or sells is at risk of being dangerous. This could be because it has been maliciously tampered with, it has had a design or manufacturing error, is incorrectly labeled, is subject to malicious threats of contamination, or even due to changes in legislation. Because of this Product Recall Insurance is particularly popular in the automotive, pharmaceutical, and food and drink sectors, where safety is paramount.

The implications of a product recall can be far-reaching, impacting not just the financial health of a business but also its reputation and customer trust. Understanding the full spectrum of costs associated with product recalls is crucial. It’s not just about the immediate expenses of withdrawing a product from the market but also the long-term costs related to public relations, brand rehabilitation, and lost profits. A well-structured Product Recall Insurance policy is designed to address these diverse costs comprehensively. 

In the complex scenario of a product recall, time and expertise are of the essence. Our Product Recall Insurance goes beyond just covering costs; it includes the coordination and support of disaster management specialists. These experts play a vital role in managing the recall process, ensuring that it is conducted efficiently and effectively, thereby minimising the impact on your business and customers.

Product recall insurance, or contamination, will only work if the product is potentially dangerous. If it is just faulty, then you will need product guarantee insurance.
