More than 3.6 million Little Giant ladders with rapid‑lock mechanisms are being recalled, an unexpected move for a brand marketed on safety. The recall covers products sold across the United States, despite the company’s long‑standing reputation for sturdy equipment. Such a large‑scale recall is rare for a single product line, underscoring the severity of the defect.

The agency’s announcement appeared on CPSC.gov and was echoed by state officials, including the Indiana Attorney General, who posted a list of recalled items on MyWabashValley.com. Retailers Costco and Lowe’s are identified as major sellers, with WDBJ7 reporting that millions of units from those chains are included. Owners should stop using the ladders immediately and follow the return instructions posted by the CPSC and the Indiana AG.

Future updates will depend on additional safety testing results released by the commission.
