Product Liability
Product liability is the main area of focus for manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and retailers, particularly being held responsible for:
- Injuries caused by products

- Contaminants in e-cigarettes and vaping devices
As ingredients and contaminants have not yet been fully evaluated or regulated, there is still much debate around inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption exposures.The Government has published guidance around the product liability and safety law.

With the number of vape shops growing rapidly, they are becoming increasingly attractive to thieves. This includes:
- Vaping and electronic cigarette stock
- On-site equipment and cash

How does insurance for vape shops differ to other businesses?
Many of the insurance requirements for vape shops will be the same or similar to other businesses. For example, if you employ anyone you’ll need Employer’s Liability insurance, if customer visit your premises, you’ll need Public Liability insurance and if you have shop premises, you’ll need Buildings and Contents insurance.
However, as a vape shop, your risk exposure may be different to other businesses. For example, if you mix your own e-liquids this should be taken into account, as should the value of any specialist stock you hold, when assessing your insurance needs.
It’s worth talking to an insurance broker to get advice about vaping insurance for your business to make sure you get cover tailored to the specific risks your vape shop faces as these will be different to other retail businesses.
