Which of the following could be considered an example of an Advertising Injury?

  1. Injury from a product malfunction

  2. Slander from a misleading advertisement

  3. Accidental harm from promotional events

  4. Damage caused during delivery of products

The correct answer is: Slander from a misleading advertisement

An example of an Advertising Injury specifically refers to harm that arises from the false or misleading statements made in advertising or promotional materials. Slander, in the context of a misleading advertisement, involves making false claims about competitors or their products, which can lead to damage to their reputation. This type of injury is covered under many advertising injury clauses in liability insurance, as it directly relates to the communication and promotion of a business's products or services. The other options relate to different types of risks or liabilities. Injury from a product malfunction pertains to product liability, which involves harm caused by defective products. Accidental harm from promotional events is more about general liability that can occur during events rather than advertising specifically. Damage caused during the delivery of products pertains to logistics and shipping risks. These do not fall under the definition of Advertising Injury, making the choice related to slander the only one that fits within that category.
