Your business could face legal action if it does not comply with product safety laws. It’s not just the person who purchases the product that can sue, it’s any person who is injured, becomes ill or has property damaged by the product. Product liability insurance will cover your legal defence costs, in the event that you are found to have been at fault, it will pay claimants’ costs and expenses and compensation awarded, subject otherwise to the limits of your policy.

It’s therefore important to have the right insurance in place.
Below are some instances where product liability may still be the business's responsibility even though they are not the manufacturer:
