ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Werner is recalling a pair of its ladders.

According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, two models of the Werner Multi-Max Pro series have faulty locking mechanisms that pose a fall hazard.

The ladders in question were sold in silver with a blue top and a blue label on the side rail in both the 20′ and 24′ varieties. The label reads “Werner” next to the words “MULTI MAX PRO,” along with the size and model number (see below). Each contains a long black rope in the back section.
