Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of injuries as when tested, the product could not hold the claimed 150kg weight without collapsing. If this were to occur when in use by the consumer, it could cause serious injury from falling from the full extended height of the product. The ladder allows different distances between rungs in position of use. Rung sections can be stored in any position leading to inconsistent spacing and by design there is no feature to prevent crushing of fingers. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border.
