Werner Co. has recalled 78,000 Multi-Purpose Telescoping Aluminum Ladders that can break and cause the operator to fall. Although the recall was issued in June 2018, many potentially dangerous ladders are still in use, and someone has already been injured from a fall caused by the ladder breaking.
The recalls are for differing sizes of the same ladder style and include model numbers MT-IAA-13A, MT-IAA-17A, MT-IAA-22A, MT-IAA-26, MT-IAA-26A. Another characteristic of this versatile ladder model is that users can arrange it in five different configurations. The faulty ladders were sold all over the country at Lowes and Home Depot stores between April and May 2018, and the affected date codes, 21744XX or 011844XX, are located on the side labels. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends owners stop using them immediately and return them for a refund.
