Chartis offers product recall insurance policies that cover defective consumer goods and contaminated products.
These meet the cost of physically withdrawing product from store shelves, customers, warehousing or other distribution channels and associated transportation. Also advertising, overtime, hiring additional staff or storage space, replacement, and disposal costs.
Also covered are:
- Defence costs for any litigation directly caused as a result of the recall or any damage or injury resulting
- Lost profits – Loss of gross profit that would have been expected had the loss not occurred, or increased working costs incurred to avoid a fall in sales
- Additional advertising or marketing strategies like special offers to regain or recover market share are covered to up to 25% of the insured amount
