The polyester pole belt may fail during use.
Testing has shown that the ladder does not comply with AS/NZS 1892.
The ladder does not perform to 150kg load capacity as claimed on the packaging and on the load rating label. Consumers may mistakenly rely on the claimed load rating to assess whether it is safe for them to use. Recent testing has confirmed that the ladder should have a load rating of 120kg.
There is a possibility that the hinge bolt on the ladder is faulty.
The platform hinge swivel arms may come apart, and as a consequence, the ladder may twist and topple over.
The product does not comply, as claimed, with the angular requirement as stipulated in EN 14183:3003 Step Stool standard.
The product does not meet all of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Standard for portable ladders.
Recent tests in accordance with the Australian safety standard for ladders (AS/NZS 1982.1:1996) showed that the item failed to meet the requirements for ladders with the rated loading capacity of 150kg. The actual maximum safe loading capacity for the ladder is 120kg.
