Product recall insurance covers expenses associated with recalling a product. Product recall insurance is typically purchased by manufacturers such as food, beverage, toy, and electronics companies.
Product recall insurance reimburses policyholders for financial losses sustained when a product is recalled. Product recalls can be involuntary (required by a regulatory agency or the government) or voluntary (the manufacturer notices a defect that is unlikely to force an involuntary recall), and can be costly.
What is covered?

- Customer Notification– Informing each customer that has bought that product to not use the product and inform the company to be recalled.
- Shipping Costs: Transportation to get all the products back to main manufacture.
- Warehouse and Storage expenses: the company may need to hire more storage to store the recalled products.
- Disposal Costs: to safely dispose the product without causing any more harm when disposing.
- Over Time Work: where the company has to pay their employees over time to solve the problem.
- Brand Repair: cost to help the business re-grow from the recall incident
