- 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.
- Corrective action
- The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
