Direct answer
A brand that imports and sells Mahjong sets under its own name is usually seen as responsible for those products in its market. Product liability insurance can help protect the business if a product is claimed to have caused injury or damage, and some retailers ask suppliers for proof of coverage before listing products. Coverage, limits and cost vary, so discuss your products, channels and volumes with a licensed insurance broker. This is general information, not insurance or legal advice.
