Product Liability

Our Professionals advises insurers and reinsurers on complex cases of alleged product liability concerning a range of sectors including consumer goods, food and beverages, cosmetics, chemicals, vehicles technology, medical devices and pharmaceuticals.

We have a deep knowledge of product liability and product recall.

We also defend clients in a wide range of product sectors against claims from individuals and from groups.

Our advice and participation goes beyond the courtroom and, as with product recalls, extends to managing all aspects of problems, including the media, for the ultimate benefit of the client’s business.

Our global network enables us to coordinate product liability claims across jurisdictions to avoid any detrimental pursuit of conflicting strategies.

We have provided assistance in connection with :

• a number of Italian and international insurance companies in lawsuits concerning product liability;
• a  toy manufacturer on the recall of baby toys;
• a € 50 million coverage dispute arising from substantial product liability claims involving defective aviation propulsion units;
• a product recall in connection with the contamination of foodstuff.
