Louisville Ladder Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Recalled Attic Ladders Pose Serious Fall Hazard

Robert Magro filed a class action lawsuit against Louisville Ladder Inc. in federal court in New York, seeking to represent consumers nationwide who purchased recalled attic stairway ladders. The lawsuit targets Century, Featherlite, Lite and Louisville branded attic stairway ladders equipped with gas struts that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled on August 6, 2026.

According to the CPSC recall notice, bolts in the gas strut assembly may break, creating a risk that users could fall and suffer serious injuries. The recall affects more than 1.7 million units sold between November 2012 and July 2026. At the time of the recall announcement, Louisville Ladder had received 11 reports of bolt breakage, including one incident involving neck, head and back injuries.

Magro seeks class certification on behalf of all New York and nationwide consumers who purchased the affected ladders and were exposed to the safety hazard. No settlement amount or further procedural developments are mentioned in the available information.
