| Have it? | Coverage | Why this business needs it | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Products & Completed Operations Liability | Covers tip-over, collapse, and fire injuries from furniture sold. | Core | |
| Product Recall | Covers CPSC-driven recalls of noncompliant dressers or children's furniture. | Prevalent | |
| Commercial Property & Business Income | Covers the plant, wood stock, and lost income after a fire. | Core | |
| Umbrella / Excess Liability | Adds limits for a child's death from a tip-over. | Core | |
| Workers' Compensation | Required in most states; saws and machinery drive the largest injuries. | Core |
The coverage gap most often missed
The most commonly missed exposure for this class is tip-over liability. Federal law now requires dressers and other clothing storage units to meet the ASTM F2057-23 stability standard, and tip-overs that injure or kill children produce severe claims and recalls. Manufacturers should test and label every unit, carry recall coverage, and confirm umbrella limits reflect children's-product exposure.
