Start with the real exposure

The wording must match the business behind it

A defective or allegedly unsafe product can create bodily injury, property damage, legal costs, recall pressure and reputational harm. Product liability insurance addresses defined third-party liability, but product descriptions, territories and contractual obligations must be accurate.

Umber works with manufacturers to understand what is made, where it is sold, how it is used and what quality controls and contracts sit behind it.

A policy works as a programme: values, wording, extensions and claims preparation must support one another.

Buyer questions

Clear answers before you decide

These are starting points. The final answer always depends on the selected insurer’s wording and your disclosed circumstances.

Does product liability pay for recalling a defective product?

Not automatically. Recall expense normally needs separate product-recall coverage or a specific extension.

Do exporters need worldwide cover?

The policy territory and jurisdiction must match actual sales and contracts. Worldwide sales do not automatically mean every court jurisdiction is covered.

What information do insurers require?

Commonly product descriptions, turnover by territory, claims history, quality certifications, contracts, testing, traceability and recall procedures.

Start with what you already have

Insurance should fit the actual risk.

Share your current policy, asset schedule or requirement. Umber will help you identify the next useful step.
