Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling nearly four million Little Giant ladders after receiving dozens of reports of injuries, including head trauma and skull fractures. The ladders have a mechanism called “Rapid Locks” that are designed to be inserted into the ladders’ rungs to help adjust the height.
Little Giant said the Rapid Locks can fail to become fully engaged, causing the ladders to retract and posing a potential fall hazard to consumers. The company has received 25 reports of the ladders retracting, 19 of which resulted in injury. Those incidents resulted in three reports of head injuries, which the recall states include traumatic brain injury, skull fractures, concussions, vision loss and cognitive impairment.
