Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of injury because it is not supplied with a stabilizer bar, and the instructions do not indicate that one is required. If the user extends the ladder to its full 5‑metre height without a stabilizer bar, the ladder becomes unstable, increasing the likelihood of a fall from height and resulting injuries. Improvements are also required to product labelling and instructions. 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.
