  1. Emergency room

    Made Dec 4, 2018, sent to the company Dec 19, 2018, published by CPSC Feb 6, 2019

    The product, in the report: This is a fiberglass ladder 6’ in height. Green and yellow in color. 225 lbs capacity.

    I was using a Werner ladder that is nearly new to bring items down from my attic in the garage. While standing near the top I felt the ladder moving back and forth where the front feet would be touching the ground. The ladder subsequently slipped out from underneath me and I fell several feet onto a concrete floor. As a result I went to ER and was told I suffered a concussion, wrist and elbow injury, along with multiple cuts and severe bruising on my back and left side. Several days after the injury, we set the ladder up and noticed when one (1) front foot is down on the ground, the other front foot is about a 1/2” off the ground. I reported it to Werner ladders and I received communications from [REDACTED]. In those communications she insisted there was nothing wrong with the ladder, even though she or her company had made no inspection of the ladder. The only thin that resulted from my discussions with her was her offering to pay me $90 and sign a release; and then dispose of the ladder. I think Ms. [REDACTED]’s statement about the condition of the ladder are ridiculous since it was never seen or inspected by them. I am concerned they are just trying to buy me off. My medical expenses were $8,000. They also were really concerned about me getting rid of the ladder, not my injury and/or the cause.
