Manufacturing Industries We Insure
Specialized product liability insurance for manufacturers across every industry. We understand the unique risks of each sector.
Food & Beverage Manufacturers
Food and beverage manufacturers face some of the most significant product liability exposures of any industry. Contamination, spoilage, allergen labeling failures, and foreign object contamination are all risks that can trigger massive recalls and lawsuits. Coverage is especially critical for manufacturers selling to major grocery chains.

- •CPSC-mandated recalls
- •Failure to warn on chemical products
- •Design defects in mechanical goods
- •Retail vendor liability requirements
Medical Device Manufacturers
Medical device manufacturers face some of the highest product liability risk of any industry. FDA regulations, clinical evidence requirements, and the severe consequences of medical device failure create an environment where comprehensive liability coverage is absolutely essential.
Key Risks:
- •Device malfunction causing patient injury
- •FDA Class I, II, III recalls
- •Clinical trial liability
- •Software/firmware errors in connected devices
- •Post-market surveillance failures
Electronics Manufacturers
Electronics manufacturers face fire, electric shock, and property damage liability from product failures. Battery failures, electrical shorts, and software-controlled failures are common sources of product liability claims in this fast-moving industry.

- •Electric shock injuries
- •Property damage from overheating
- •FCC compliance failures
- •Counterfeit component liability
Industrial Equipment Manufacturers
Manufacturers of machinery, tools, industrial systems, and heavy equipment face significant liability for equipment failures that can cause serious injuries or production losses for commercial customers. These claims often involve large damages given the commercial context.
Key Risks:
- •Equipment failure causing operator injury
- •Machine guarding failures
- •Catastrophic mechanical failure
- •OSHA violation liability
- •Environmental contamination
Apparel & Textile Manufacturers
Clothing and textile manufacturers face product liability exposure from flammability failures, fabric toxicity, sizing and fit issues, and children's clothing safety regulations. International supply chains create complex liability exposure.
Key Risks:
