Crisis Management

The Talbot Crisis Management team underwrites a range of specialist insurance products including:

  • Product contamination
  • Recall liability for component parts
  • First party recall for consumer goods
  • Kidnap and ransom

The safety and quality of a product is at the forefront of a brand and irreparable damage can be done when something goes wrong with that product. Talbot can limit the damage arising from a product recall, whether from a contaminated, maliciously tampered product in the food industry or a defective product used in the auto industry that can cause harm.

Why Talbot

At Talbot we help to protect balance sheet and customer contracts. Our cover can include pre-recall expenses, recall costs, business interruption, rehabilitation, third party recall, extortion monies, government recall, adverse publicity, customer loss of profits and expert crisis consultant & advisor costs. 

Our Crisis Response Consultants, Security Exchange Ltd and RQA Group, are ready to offer preventative advice and assistance to our clients across all classes and provide 24/7 response in the event of an incident.
