Telescopic extending ladders from the People’s Republic of China are affected; they can be recognised as collapsible telescopic ladders. They were recalled because they may not hold the claimed weight, allow varying distances between rungs during use and lack protection against squeezing when collapsed, which could cause a fall and injury. The product has been removed from online marketplaces and imports have been rejected at the border (Safety Gate alert SR/02667/26).
