All three cases above are some examples regarding product liability. You might be wondering why is product liability that strict. Enterprise that deals with import and export, and manufacturing of consumer products in particular, should highly value the importance of product liability risk. Exports to United States, Canada, Australia and Europe may possess higher product liability risk, which may cause enterprise to face litigation, suffer huge losses, and even bankruptcy.

What exactly is product liability insurance?

Product liability insurance is a policy that covers legal liability of the insured and protects businesses from financial loss. The insurance company will assess the risks and may quote a loading to the premium to insure that risk. No insurance company would accept the insured if their product often does not meet the requirements and possesses high safety risks.

It is known that when people apply for life insurance, most insurance companies require a medical examination to ensure insured is in good health. It would be difficult for insurer to accept the application if one’s health is in poor condition. The same applies to product liability insurance. Therefore, it is important for an enterprise to become a good growth company with high quality products in order to be insured.
