June 22 (UPI) -- Werner Ladder issued a recall of 78,000 of its ladders because they pose a falling hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday.
"This recall involves five models of aluminum telescoping ladders that can be used in five different positions (twin step ladder, stairway step ladder, extension ladder, wall ladder and as two scaffold bases)," the CPSC said in a statement. "The date code is stamped on the inside of the outer leg of the ladder, beneath the bottom step. The model number is printed on a label located on the side of the ladder rail. The recalled ladders have a load capacity of 375 lbs."
