Hazard

The ladder presents a serious risk of injuries as it 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 sample failed the strength and deflection tests, and demonstrated to not be adequate for the 150kg load rating on the packaging. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplaces (Amazon and eBay).
