Am I Personally Protected from Liability When Selling Supplements on Amazon?
I’m getting ready to launch my own branded supplement on Amazon and want to make sure I’m legally protected in case anything goes wrong.
So far, here’s what I’ve done:
I’ve registered my business as a single-member LLC.
I’m enrolling in Amazon Brand Registry.
I’m also planning to purchase product liability insurance through Amazon’s insurance program.
My main concern is personal liability. If, for example, a customer claims my product harmed them and decides to sue, would my personal assets still be at risk? Or does my LLC + insurance fully protect me?
Also, do you recommend speaking with a lawyer before launch? If so, what kind of attorney should I look for — corporate law, product liability, or someone who specifically works with e-commerce/Amazon sellers?
Any advice from people who’ve been through this would be really appreciated. Trying to do this the right way from the start.
