What is the hazard with 3 and 4 Step Ladders sold via Amazon (2608-0068)?

3 and 4 Step Ladders sold via Amazon (2608-0068) was announced earlier this year, in the "Hand tools/accessories - Ladders (Non-Powered)" category. The product presents a serious risk of injuries as the ladder could not hold the claimed weight without collapsing. If the ladder were to collapse while in use, the user could fall and receive serious injuries. The product also requires improvements to marking and labelling. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.

What should you do if you own this product?

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon). Contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below for the exact remedy steps.
