Clothing retailers may require liability insurance to address issues such as slip and fall accidents, allergic reactions to clothing materials, or injuries caused by defective products.
Grocery Stores:
Grocery stores, in addition to general liability coverage, may need product liability insurance to protect against claims related to contaminated or spoiled food products they sell.

Retailers that sell electronics and appliances may require liability insurance to cover potential claims arising from product defects, electrical hazards, or injuries caused by malfunctioning products.
