Liability Insurance Program

The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), Silver Spring, MD, has introduced a new liability insurance program that for the first time responds to California Proposition 65 claims. The ThinkRisk Vitamin & Supplement Program, part of ThinkRisk’s Converging Risk Liability Policy, also provides coverage for false advertising and other similar claims, including labeling claims. Additionally, coverage is provided for media and intellectual property claims, such as trademark and copyright infringement, as well as for the consequences of a breach of data security. Available through longtime AHPA member Grifcon Enterprises and Dick Griffin, who has served as the manager of AHPA’s longstanding liability insurance program for more than 15 years, the V&S Program was created specifically to benefit companies in the dietary supplement marketplace. This flexible policy provides businesses with protection in a number of key areas where digital-age businesses now do business—and which are often not covered in traditional commercial general-liability coverage. Participants in this program will also have access to risk-management material to mitigate their exposure to claims in these areas. For further information: www.ahpa.org
