The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Louisville Ladder Inc. have announced a voluntary recall of about 25,000 Louisville/Davidson and Michigan brand fiberglass extension ladders. The extension or "fly" section of the ladders can fail to lock, posing a fall hazard to consumers. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

Manufactured in Mexico, the recalled ladders were sold at home centers and industrial supply stores nationwide from September 2007 through December 2007 for between $130 and $760. This recall only involves models that were manufactured from September 2007 through October 2007. Please see the CPSC press release for complete details and model numbers involved in the recall.
