What is this? This is a tall, extendable ladder made in China. It does not come with a stabilizer bar. It also does not clearly show that you must lock it before climbing.
What's happening? If you fully extend the ladder without locking it, it can wobble or tip over. This can cause injuries.
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 check with a professional. Ask your local store or a ladder expert for help.
