⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because:- there are sharp points on the locking struts,- when the product is used either as a free-standing stepladder or as a single ladder leaning on a support surface, the manual mechanisms (metal plates 1.2 mm thick and 73 mm long) that lock the joints in leave a gap in which fingers could be entrapped.The product does not comply with the relevant standard UNE EN 131.
