Hazard

The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of injuries. The product possesses inadequate base dimensions leading to poor stability which, when in use and fully extended, can cause the ladder to slide under the user causing them to fall from a height and injure themselves. The ladder was also found to have insufficient strength and the rungs, when in use, may give way causing the user to fall from height. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The affected batch of products (imported in May 2021) have been recalled directly from end users.
