CPSC, Keller Announce Recall of Certain Model Industrial
Fiberglass Extension Ladders
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Keller Industries of Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., is recalling 29,691 Industrial Type I and
Industrial Heavy Duty Type IA fiberglass extension ladders.
A support brace located on the ladder's base section could
interfere with the operation of the rung locks. If the brace
interferes with the locks, the ladder may appear to be
securely locked in place when it is not. As a result the
ladder could collapse causing a person standing on the
ladder to fall and be seriously injured.
Keller Industries sold the ladders under the brand
names "Keller" and "Columbia". The following ladders are
subject to the recall:
| Model |

Hardware and home supply stores sold the 16-foot ladder
for $150 to $175; the 28-foot ladder for $250 to $300; the
32-foot ladder for $325 to $375; the 36-foot ladder for $400
to $450; and the 40-foot ladder for $450 to $500.
