I purchase Dock Edge Welded Fixed Wide Step Dock Ladder, 5 Steps, Aluminum.

We purchased this ladder in May 2019 from Amazon. I have been notified of a product recall. In May of 2019 my young grandson while exiting the water using this ladder seriously lacerated his foot. I am requesting a refund on the purchase of this ladder.

On Monday, Aug. 31 2020, I went into my garage with my Werner step ladder to check for space in the attic for storage. I always check to see that the ladder is balanced and level. I was standing on the ladder one second, and the next I was on my back on the concrete floor in excruciating pain. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and had Xrays and CAT scan. I suffered injury to my back, my right elbow and my left leg. I may also have bruised my right lung because I have trouble breathing. Fortunately, I broke no bones. I am a 77 year old woman and live alone. I am very cautious about breaking my bones. I purchased this ladder 8/04/14. It is only used infrequently to change light bulbs, batteries and to paint one room. I was blaming myself for the injuries, until my daughter came in from the garage and told me the leg of the ladder was bent. I think this is a defective product. I think you should look into this. No matter what, the leg on a ladder should not bend. I have written an email to Werner, but have not heard from them yet. I am in constant pain for the last week and on muscle relaxers, [REDACTED] and Naproxin. I could have broken my back or my hip and ended up in a nursing home for the rest of my life.

Attic Ladder lower hinge broke as I was using it.

Steel attic ladder that folds up into the ceiling with a 300lb weight rating. It was marketed as being the stronger option for attic ladders. One of the hinges that hold the bottom section of ladder snapped during normal operation. The metal in the hinge simply failed. Neither of the people who has been using the ladder weighs over 200lbs and nothing heavy is carried up into the attic. This failure has been reported by numerous people online. Werner has refused to acknowledge that the hinge was faulty or that the design potentially poses a risk to users.

Last year, I purchased a new Little Giant ladder (Type 1A) from Costco. The product was demonstrated by a Little Giant employee who made it appear safe, simple and easy to use. Every time I use the ladder I suffer some type of minor injury. Today, while using it, my hand and arm were pinched between sliding elements of the ladder. This resulted in two large and painful blood blisters. I am very careful when I use the ladder knowing that its heavy weight and multiple pinch points can cause severe injury. I am a degreed mechanical engineer with 40 years of experience. I feel this product is unsafe for the general public's use and should be modified or discontinued.

I purchased a COSCO ladder from walmart similar to the [REDACTED] currently on recall. Mine has blue parts where your recall picture has yellow. Mine also has recurring issues with the locking mechanism jamming and failing to fully lock. Last Friday multiple locks again failed. When I was placing the ladder before climbing it, one side collapsed. Had it failed as I was climbing it, at my age serious injury would have occurred, if not worse.

Little Giant Ladder slid out from me as I was cleaning leaves out of gutter on first floor near garage
