08 October 2025

The following notice has been issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.

Product
3.8m Telescopic Ladder (KIKO 5301-9)

Type
Hand tools/accessories - Ladders (Non-Powered)

Country of origin
China

Product description
A 3.8 m extending telescopic ladder.

Product carton identifiers
ITEM BM4509, KIKO 5301-9

Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of injuries as the metal bends and could collapse under repeated normal use. If the ladder were to collapse while in use, the user could fall and receive serious injuries.

As the ladder is over 3 metres it should be supplied with a stabilizer bar, which was missing. Additionally, when the locking mechanisms are released to collapse the ladder, the rungs fall with a force, posing a cutting hazard. The product requires improvements to marking and labelling.

The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border.
