No incident, no one hurt Made Aug 17, 2026, sent to the company Aug 20, 2026, published by CPSC Sep 4, 2026
The product, in the report: COSCO Modern Style 3-step ladder from Costco. The Costco item # is 1806326.
The safety handlebar on the top of the COSCO brand 3-step ladder I bought at Costco snapped. I briefly put a bit of weight on the stepladder as I was cleaning something in my kitchen. I did not fall but was surprised and could have lost my balance. Since this is a safety handlebar on a tall stepladder, I believe the snapping of the handlebar can lead to serious injury due to a fall from a height. I am an adult.
