A small retail gift store recently came to love their business insurance policy. The store stocked and sold locally made candles as part of their product offerings. The store sold one of those candles to a customer who used it the same day. The candle had a defect that caused the base to overheat, which started a fire, and the customer’s home burned to the ground. The customer’s homeowner’s insurance paid the $350,000 claim, and then sued the shop owner. The basis of the claim was there was a product defect in the candle which caused the loss. The shop owner then went to the candle maker, but the candle maker had no insurance. The shop’s business insurance paid the claim, and the shop was able to stay in business, because of the product liability coverage found in their policy.
