Louisville Ladder Recalls Extension Ladders

February 20, 2008    
Louisville Ladder is recalling about 25,000 extension ladders carrying the “Louisville/Davidson” and “Michigan” brands.

The extension or “fly” section can fail to lock, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The recalled ladders are Type I, IA, or II extension ladders with fiberglass rails and “D” shaped aluminum rungs. The following models are included in the recall:

The recall involves only models manufactured from September 2007 through October 2007. The model number and the manufacturing date code are located on the left side rail of the ladders. Ladders with two green dots near the bottom of the left side base rail have already been inspected or repaired and are not included in the recall.

The ladders, made in Mexico, were sold at Industrial supply stores and home centers nationwide from September 2007 through December 2007 for between $130 and $760.

Consumers should stop using the ladder immediately and contact Louisville Ladder for instructions on inspecting the ladder and receiving a free repair kit, if necessary.
