The Illinois-based company said owners of the ladders being recalled should stop using them immediately and register at www.wernerco.com/recalls to begin the process for a full refund. Once owners have properly disposed of their ladders per Werner’s instructions, the company said it will issue a check for a full refund.

"Consumers should register at http://www.wernerco.com/recalls to receive details on how to dispose of the recalled ladder. Once disposal is complete, Werner will issue a full refund in the form of a check," read the announcement.
