FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+-
How does product recall insurance differ from product liability insurance?
Product recall insurance specifically covers the costs to recall a defective or unsafe product, including notification and rectification expenses. Product liability insurance covers your legal liability if your product causes injury or property damage. Both coverages are complementary and often necessary for comprehensive protection.
+-
Are recall expenses covered if a supplier caused the defect?
Yes, product recall insurance often covers recall costs regardless of where the defect originated. However, your policy may include subrogation rights to recover costs from responsible suppliers or vendors. It’s important to disclose supplier relationships when applying.
+-
How quickly must a recall be reported to insurers?
Promptly reporting recall events is crucial. Most policies require notification as soon as you become aware of a defect or safety issue. Delays could jeopardise coverage or claims. Insure24’s team is ready to guide you through early reporting and claims processes.
+-
Can my product recall insurance cover international recalls?
Yes, policies can include worldwide recall coverage, important for manufacturers exporting robots or components. This means costs associated with recalls in multiple countries are covered, including local notification, shipping, and compliance expenses.
+-
Does product recall insurance cover reputational damage?
Many policies provide coverage for crisis management and public relations costs to help mitigate reputational harm during recalls. This typically includes hiring PR consultants and communication campaigns to reassure customers and stakeholders. Check your policy for specific terms and limits.
