According to the CPSA (Consumer Protection Safety Act), ladder manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers are required to report to CPSC (Consumer Protection Safety Commission) within 24 hours of obtaining information which reasonably supports the conclusion that a product such a ladder does not comply with a safety rule or contains a defect which could create a substantial risk of injury to the public or presents an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death.
