How much insurance do higher-risk products need?
Higher-risk products, supplements, cosmetics, electronics, children's items, and anything ingestible or powered, still start at the $1,000,000 per-occurrence baseline marketplaces require, but the greater injury potential often justifies higher limits or a commercial umbrella, especially once you sell wholesale or at volume.

Why risk changes the number
The required minimum does not change with risk, but the potential size of a claim does. Products that can cause serious injury or property damage justify carrying more than the minimum, which is where a commercial umbrella extends your limits affordably.
