What to do
Stop using the recalled ladders immediately. Review the information at www.littlegiantladders.com/pages/recalls or via the QR code on the ladder. Then contact Little Giant for a repair kit containing warning labels and instructions.
The instructions and labels should be affixed to the ladder. They advise you to verify that your Rapid Locks are properly engaged before every use and to maintain the locks with lubrication.
If a Rapid Lock does not function properly after lubrication, contact Little Giant for evaluation. If a lock still does not function properly after this evaluation, the company will offer a choice of a replacement ladder of the same or equivalent model, or a refund. Refunds range from a depreciated value determined by date of purchase up to the full purchase price for ladders purchased within the past 12 months.
