The warehouse operator is liable for damage or loss of goods occurring during storage—such as inadequate climate control, pest infestation, handling errors, or safety failures. This liability differs from manufacturer product liability: it concerns damage caused by faulty warehouse management, not defects in the product itself. The storage contract and applicable insurance terms define the scope and limits of liability.
