Subject: Read the standard CGL Policy ...
"Coverage territory" means:
a. The United States of America (including its territories and possessions), Puerto Rico and Canada;
b. International waters or airspace, but only if the injury or damage occurs in the course of travel or transportation between any places included in a. above; or
c. All other parts of the world if the injury or damage arises out of:
(1) Goods or products made or sold by you in the territory described in a. above;
(2) The activities of a person whose home is in the territory described in a. above, but is away for a short time on your business; or
(3) "Personal and advertising injury" offenses that take place through the Internet or similar electronic means of communication
provided the insured's responsibility to pay damages is determined in a "suit" on the merits, in the territory described in a. above or in a settlement we agree to.
Insurance 101 - the "goods or products" were manufactured in New Jersey..." and like it or not, last time I looked, NJ was still part of the US, it's territories or posessions...albeit we sometimes choose to ignore this fact..
The only qualifyer is that tthe "suit" against the mfg (insured) is brought against them "in the covered territory"
