According to the Louisville ladder recall announcement, the recall involves only models manufactured from September 2007 through October 2007. The model number and the manufacturing date code are located on the left side rail of the ladders. Ladders with two green dots near the bottom of the left side base rail have already been inspected or repaired and are not included in the recall.

According to the manufacturer, Louisville Ladder Inc., of Louisville, Kentucky, the extension or “fly” section can fail to lock, posing a fall hazard to consumers. Anyone injured on a recalled “Louisville/Davidson” or “Michigan” brand fiberglass extension ladder should consult an attorney regarding a possible product liability lawsuit. If you were injured at work, an attorney should be consulted regarding amounts recoverable under workers’ compensation, product liability, premises liability, and other possible claims.
