Flood insurance is so confusing it’s been named as among Australia’s worst products, alongside a weight-loss nasal spray and quail eggs to cure erectile dysfunction.

Consumer group Choice has awarded eight lemon trophies this year for dodgy, dubious and deceitful goods and services as part of its sixth annual Shonky Awards.

In the wake of the summer floods in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, the insurance industry is held in such low regard it has been lumped alongside products like crystal encrusted baby dummies and underpants that fix cellulite.

The honours for misleading consumers also went to SensaSlim, for selling a $A70 (US$73.12) “weight-loss spray”, which the company claims decreases appetite.

Choice said there was no evidence the product worked, pointing out how the retailer sued for defamation.

Quail Kingdom quail eggs also make dubious claims, with the company’s website suggesting the product, retailing at $2.50 a dozen, can treat everything from tuberculosis to Chernobyl-style radiation and obesity.

The product’s healing powers have not been proven by clinical trials, and it is not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic goods.

Peachy Pink under garments, selling for $55, claim to eliminate cellulite when worn for eight hours a day for 21 days because they are “infused” with green tea, peaches and caffeine.

Choice director of campaigns Christopher Zinn said the awards, unveiled on Tuesday, were there to remind businesses to be honest.

Crystal-encrusted baby dummies “that Choice tests found to be a choking hazard” and the Chinese-built Chery J1 with fake roof racks “for cosmetic purposes only” also got gongs.

They were joined by a Smurfs’ Village app for Apple iPhones.

1958 The various parties had to be able to envision time, understand the risks and be prepared. Teamwork was vital to survival. As this timeline shows, the history of insurance begins as a natural instinct and develops as a valuable, learned trait. Along the way are the events which remind us to safeguard our own future and that of our family.

As a professional in a world where only the fittest can survive, you may not always be the healthiest or the most efficient of the apples. You may pass wrong judgements, your work may not always live up to your client’s expectations, your product may harm a customer or it may cause some monetary loss to someone. In all the above mentioned circumstances, your client can legally sue you or your company which would mean you having to pay hefty sums of amount. This may happen to anyone and anywhere. We’re humans after all and to stumble at times is only human. This does not have to as sorry a state as it sounds to be. Professional liability cover is a type of insurance policy designed to rescue professionals from such a situation. It Read full post…
