(LegalLaw247.com, March 17, 2012 ) New York, NY Werner attic ladder complaints from consumers who own a S2208 or S2210 Easy Access attic ladder are available to be reviewed by the attorneys working with ClassAction.org. It has been alleged that these pull-down attic ladders manufactured by Werner Co. are defective and can break under normal use, posing a risk of injury to the consumer. In light of allegations that Werner Co. and its retailer Lowes knowingly sold a defective product, consumers who purchased one of these ladders or own a home in which one is installed may be entitled to compensation.

The S2208 and S2210 attic ladders were first sold and marketed by Old Ladder, a company which went bankrupt and from which Werner Co. arose. According to allegations posed in a Werner ladder class action complaint, the attic ladders contain hinges composed of zinc aluminum, a poor quality alloy consisting of inexpensive, low melting point metals. In an attempt to save money, Old Ladder used this pot metal, which made the hinges unstable and prone to cracking, shattering, bending and shearing, the suit claims. After its introduction into the market, Old Ladder and retailer Lowes allegedly began receiving complaints regarding Werner attic ladder problems, stating that the hinges sheared and failed unexpectedly, in some cases resulting in injury. Old Ladder investigated these problems and learned of the defect, but nevertheless continued to sell these ladders to Lowes, according to allegations. When Old Ladder filed for bankruptcy, New Werner Co. purchased its assets and continued to sell and manufacture these ladders to Lowes in exchange for a broad indemnity of all losses incurred in connection with these attic ladders, the suit claims.
In 2008, manufacture of the S2208 and S2210 ladders ceased; however, by this point, nearly 600,000 of these allegedly defective pull-down attic ladders had already been sold, according to the suit. Allegedly, due to their defective nature, these hinges on these ladders can shear and break without warning, and are valueless to the consumer. If you own one of these attic ladders in your home, you may be able to seek compensation for the cost of your ladder and other losses in light of these allegations.
