Needed to use backquotes correctly:

(setq products '("Firebird" "Ion"))


(dolist (product products)
  (setq org-capture-templates
        (append org-capture-templates `( (,(substring product 0 1) ,product)
                                        (,(concat (substring product 0
1) "t" ) "Todo" entry (file+headline (concat org-directory
"/default.org") ,product) "* TODO %?" )     ))))

Again - I hope this helps someone else in the future.

Thanks!
