Type of insurance needed for Web based crafter... Help?

Hi there. I make crochet collectibles - not toys! - and have assumed that I will need product liability insurance. Do I also need public liability insurance seeing as they get posted all over the world? Does anyone have any experience with obtaining such insurance in this field who would be happy to recommend their insurer?

Best regards,

Hmmm. I find this question interesting, as I didn't know product liability insurance would be something someone would need just starting out, especially for cloth products.

i.e. how would someone in France sue you anyway, if their napkin tore while they were using it, in a very clever way, to steal a golden idol from the Temple of Doom?

As y' do.

Sorry for not responding earlier.

My makes are 3D items, I use yarn, toy stuffing, thread, safety eyes and sew-in labels. Any one of these components might fail if the product is not used correctly (ie, left alone, out of reach of children and animals, just sat there on a shelf to be admired). If that were to happen I may be sued for damages, ergo I require product liability insurance.
