Little Giant Recalls 3.66 Million Ladders Over Lock Hazard

Little Giant Ladder Systems is recalling about 3.66 million ladders with Rapid Locks after the locks were reported to retract when not fully engaged, creating a fall hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the recall on November 5, covering several Little Giant ladder models sold nationwide and online from December 2015 through October 2026.

Little Giant reported 25 incidents in which ladders retracted, including 19 reports of injuries. Three involved head injuries, including reports of traumatic brain injury, skull fracture, concussion, vision or hearing loss, and cognitive impairment. The other 16 injury reports involved fractures, cuts, bruises or similar injuries. The company also reported 39 instances of Rapid Locks not working properly. These counts are company reports relayed in the recall notice.

The recall covers the Adjustable Fortress 2.0, Conquest 2.0, Dark Horse 2.0, Epic, King Kombo XT, Leveler, MegaLite, MegaLite Multi, Quantum and Vector models with Rapid Locks. The brand and model names are printed on the ladder’s side. The recall notice says ladders with an orange rectangular QC sticker on the rail above a Rapid Lock are not included.
