    The product, in the report: Aluminum undermount ladder for pontoon boats.

    The product I’m reporting is a ladder that is mounted to the underside deck of a pontoon boat. The ladder is constructed out of aluminum. The reason for my report is due to extremely sharp edges that are present on the ladder. I purchased it from Amazon and read reviews from others about injuries sustained from sharp edges, but incorrectly assumed that they had addressed the problem. Upon our first use, my 7 year old son severely cut his ring finger on his left hand. Since it happened so fast, he wasn’t quite sure what or how he had cut it. In my attempt to locate where the sharp edges were, I proceeded to cut my finger as well. The specific location of the sharp edges were on the sides/edges of the foremost upper cross member of the fixed assembly mounted to the bottom of the pontoon. I contacted the manufacturer, but they did not seem to take the matter seriously and want to ensure proper action is taken to cease sales of the unsafe product until it is fixed.
