Hazard

These products present serious risks of injuries as they failed strength testing for the limits recommended on the products themselves. The ladders pose the risk of bending due to repeated use whilst the user is attempting to retrieve a heavy load. This means that if the ladders were to collapse while in use, the user could fall and receive serious injuries. These products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listings have been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
