Risk Description
The metal parts of the ladder may bend and collapse during repeated normal use. The user could fall and receive serious injuries. Moreover, as the ladder exceeds 3 metres in height and was supplied without a stabilizer bar, this could lead to the user falling and receive injuries. Additionally, when the locking mechanisms are released, the rungs collapse rapidly with significant force, posing a risk of cuts to the user's hand. The product also lacks adequate marking and labelling. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation.
