Specialty Recall Insurance Coverage

Specialty coverage first appeared in the late 1980s to fill this niche. Although these policies are also frequently referred to as “product recall” insurance, they provide coverage for recall-related losses only when those losses are caused by specific triggering events, typically accidental contamination and malicious product tampering.
When Lloyd's of London and Chartis (formerly known as AIG) began offering specialty coverage in the late 1980s, as a result of the much-publicized Tylenol' tampering incident, they had little competition or loss experience.
