Louisville Ladder Inc. is initiating a recall of more than 1.7 million attic stairway ladders. The affected products were sold nationwide under several brand names, including Louisville, Featherlite, Lite, and Century. These ladders were available for purchase at major retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Amazon.
The recall, which covers ladders sold between November 2012 and July 2026, has been issued due to a significant safety concern. Reports indicate that the bolts used in the construction of these attic ladders may break. This potential failure poses a risk of serious injury or even death to consumers who rely on these ladders for access to their attics.
According to available information, there have been 11 separate reports detailing instances of broken bolts on these ladders. In one documented case, a broken bolt led to a fall that resulted in injuries affecting the consumer’s neck, head, and back. The specific cause of the bolt failure was not detailed.
The company has not provided details on the remedy or specific steps consumers should take if they have purchased an affected ladder. Further information regarding the recall process and any potential resolutions is expected to be made available.
