Key Differences in Product Liability Insurance

CFC describes the injury trigger and recall coverage

AIG lists aviation product liability among its aviation solutions but does not publish covered products or legal-liability terms on the overview. CFC sells product liability only within life-sciences and nutraceutical packages; those policies address bodily-injury and property-damage claims from use or ingestion, and include government-enforced recall costs, with voluntary recall available by extension. A buyer should check whether its product fits CFC’s two package classes. 3 9

CFC gives different maximums by trigger basis

CFC’s brochures list maximum limits of $15 million on a claims-made basis and $7 million on an occurrence basis. AIG’s public aviation overview gives no corresponding numbers. Ask CFC which basis is available for your product and compare the proposed limit and recall extension with AIG’s actual quote. 9 3

What to Confirm in Product Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask CFC whether your product fits life-sciences or nutraceutical underwriting and which recall option applies. 9
  • Request AIG’s policy form, limit and covered product schedule. 3

AIG vs CFC: Product Liability Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaAIG Aviation Product LiabilityCFC Life Science and Nutraceuticals
Role in This Line

AIG markets product liability as part of its Aerospace and Aviation insurance practice, specifically for aviation-related product operations. It is not evidence of a broad standalone product liability offer for unrelated sectors. 3Company-reported. Role in this product is limited to the description on the linked AIG source.

CFC sells product liability only inside its life science and nutraceuticals package policies, not as a standalone product-liability product. 8Company-reported. Life science product page, which lists life sciences and nutraceuticals as the two package policies covering products/completed operations exposure.

Issuing Insurer

Confirm in your quote.

The reviewed life science and nutraceuticals brochures describe CFC as the policy designer and point of contact but do not name the insurer that carries the product-liability risk for either package. 8,9,10Not publicly disclosed. Life science page and both brochures as read on 2026-09-23. CFC's own materials describe it as an underwriting manager rather than a risk-bearing insurer, so a specific carrier for either package would need to come from the quote or declarations.

Who It’s For

AIG identifies aviation product manufacturers, distributors and maintenance, repair and overhaul operations as audiences for its aviation product liability solutions. The page does not establish eligibility for all product manufacturers. 3Company-reported. Audience is the segment AIG names on the linked source; this is not an underwriting decision, quote or guarantee of availability.

For the life science package, CFC says it considers companies importing, manufacturing, distributing or leasing tangible products, implantable and non-implantable devices, and software as a medical device, but ordinarily declines products such as hip and knee replacement kits, infusion devices, implantable silicone, and breast implants. 9Company-reported. Life science brochure's "Products we consider" and "What we ordinarily decline" lists; actual acceptance depends on individual underwriting.

For the nutraceuticals package, CFC says its appetite covers products like energy drinks, weight-loss or weight-gain products, functional health products and cosmetics, but ordinarily declines products containing or derived from kratom or colloidal silver, or with excessively high stimulant levels. 10Company-reported. Nutraceuticals brochure's "What we like" and "What we ordinarily decline" lists; actual acceptance depends on individual underwriting.

Coverage Features

AIG lists aviation product liability insurance among aviation liability solutions. It does not publish a buyer’s covered products, legal liability terms, limits or exclusions on this overview page. 3Company-reported. AIG’s public product description is not the policy. Actual entitlement depends on the applicable issued form, endorsements and declarations.

Both packages cover legal expenses and compensation for bodily injury or property damage claims arising from use, ingestion, or (for life science) implantation of the insured's product, alongside product recall costs for government-enforced recalls, with voluntary recall available as an extension. 9,10Company-reported. Life science and nutraceuticals brochures' "Commercial general liability"/"Products and completed operations" and "Product recall" sections; exact wording and exclusions are set by the policy as issued.

Limits and Retentions

The aviation page does not publish a product-liability limit for an individual manufacturer or product. Confirm capacity, attachment and policy terms with AIG for the account. 3Not publicly disclosed. This statement reports only what the linked public source discloses and does not substitute for a quote or issued policy.

CFC's brochures list a maximum products-liability limit of $15 million on a claims-made basis and $7 million on an occurrence basis for both the life science and nutraceuticals packages. 9,10Company-reported. "Limits and minimum premiums" sections of both brochures; the limit actually issued depends on underwriting.

Risk Services

AIG describes aviation-focused underwriting and claims adjusters/attorneys, a 24/7 hotline and application materials for aircraft products. These resources do not determine coverage or claim acceptance. 3Company-reported. The linked page describes company-reported support; specific account services and third-party arrangements must be confirmed.

Confirm in your quote.

How to Apply

Confirm in your quote.

CFC publishes separate application forms for life science products/software and for nutraceuticals, so the underwriting intake differs by package even though both share the same product-liability grant. 8Company-reported. Life science product page's downloads list.

Claims Support

Confirm in your quote.

CFC says it has pioneered coverage for nutraceuticals as an emerging risk area and has claims handlers experienced with that sector's product claims. 11Company-reported. CFC's claims page, "Emerging risk" section; a general capability statement with no published nutraceuticals-specific claim volume or outcome data.
