Product Recall Insurance
High Frequency of Recalls
Product recalls are increasingly common, especially in sectors such as food, electronics, and cosmetics. Companies must frequently remove unsafe products from shelves to protect public health.
Government Oversight
Regulatory bodies enforce strict safety standards, making compliance essential for businesses. In Australia, laws such as those enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) require companies to respond promptly in the event of a recall, with increased oversight to ensure product safety.
Recall Costs
The financial burden of recalling products can be overwhelming. Expenses include pulling products from shelves, destroying faulty goods, and managing logistics. Without product recall insurance, these costs could cripple a business.

What is Product Recall Insurance?
Product Recall Insurance provides coverage for the costs incurred when a product needs to be recalled from the market due to safety or health concerns. This can include expenses such as notifying customers, shipping recalled items, and destroying the faulty products.
What does Product Recall Insurance cover?
Product recall insurance coverage is divided into two categories: first-party expenses and third-party expenses.
- First-Party Expenses: These include notifying customers, shipping products back, warehousing, and destruction of recalled items. If a company’s reputation is damaged, public relations efforts to restore the brand’s image may also be covered.
- Third-Party Expenses: If your product is used as a component by other businesses, their recall-related costs can also be covered, including similar logistics, restocking, and communication expenses.
Who should consider Product Recall Insurance?
This insurance is vital for manufacturers in industries like food, beverage, toys, electronics, and cosmetics, where the risk of product recalls is high due to strict safety regulations.
Does Product Recall Insurance cover third-party claims?
Yes, some policies can be extended to cover third-party expenses when your product is used as a component in another company’s product, such as in cars or food ingredients.
