Re: Werner S2210 300lb Capacity hinge shear,

More | Report Post

There are many other threads on counsel.net with reported
problems about these S2200 series ladders (S2208 and S2210).
I count at least 8 different threads, including:

Werner S2210 Capacity hinge shear, Werner s2210, Werner
S2210, Werner pull down attic ladder, Werner Ladder, Werner
S2210 Attic Ladder, Werner Attic
Ladder S2208 Junk, and Werner Attic Ladder S2200 series.

I count at least 50 reports from those eight different
threads. Please review them all for a more comprehensive
view of the extent of this problem. Also,
please post your complaint on the s2210 (small “s” not
capital) thread which seems to have the most reports.

If you've had problems with this model, please call the
consumer protection hot line at 1-800-638-2772 and report
these problems so there may be a recall.
If you have already done so, follow-up with a letter to ask
why nothing has been done with respect to a recall.

As you can see, many others have had the same problem and it
is just a matter of time before someone is seriously injured
if flawed ladders are not taken off of
the market. The only way for that to happen is for people
like you to report the problem. I know it is a bit of a
hassle, but please do so for the safety of others.
Thank you in advance.
