Werner recalls more than 100,000 ladders
due to potential fall and injury hazard
[August 15, 2025]
Werner on Thursday said it is recalling more than 100,000 faulty
ladders due to a locking mechanism that can fail, potentially causing
users to fall and injure themselves.
In cooperation with federal consumer product regulators, Werner is
recalling 122,250 Multi-Max Pro ladders that come in 20-foot and 24-foot
sizes. The ladders were sold exclusively at Home Depot between November
of 2021 and February of 2024 with prices between $200 and $281. |

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.
The ladders are silver with a blue top and a blue label on the
side rail with an oval containing the word “Werner” and “MULTI
MAX PRO.” The size and model numbers are ALMP-20IAA or
ALMP-24IAA and have a long black rope in the back.
Werner said it has received 18 reports of falls, including 14
reports of injuries resulting in bruising, lacerations, head
injuries and fractures to the wrist, leg and ribs.
If consumers think they own a ladder being recalled, they can
call Werner at 888-624-1907 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern
time Monday through Friday or email ladder@realtimeresults.net.
