What is this? A tall ladder that can stretch out can tip over if not used right. It does not come with a part that keeps it steady.
What's happening? Some people may not know they must lock the ladder before climbing. If they stretch it all the way and climb, it can fall.
Does this affect me? If you own or use this ladder in the UK, you could be at risk.
What should I do? Stop using the ladder until you add a stabiliser bar. Ask a builder or shop worker for help. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are hurt.
