Hazard

The product presents a high risk of injuries as the handrail of the ladder projects beyond the rear of its platform. If the user leans forward after climbing to the top of the ladder whilst holding on to the handrail, the ladder may fall forward, causing the user to fall. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
