On March of 2004 I was repairing the trim on my house when standing on the ladder about 16 feet above the ground when the ladder abruptly dropped down about an inch starting a chain of events leading to my injuries. I see it as cause and effect.

On the day of the injury I was using my Werner fiberglass extension ladder utilizing the Shu-Lok ladder feet. In my opinion the ladder malfunctioned. It is also my Opinion the Manufacturer the Werner Ladder Company was informed and aware of potential hazards of the Shu-Lok base foot design and the groves that the bolt could and will catch on.

The CPSC is aware of this hazard of the Werner/Keller Shu-Lok base and my question remains the same. How many injuries or deaths does it take before reform becomes a reality?

In my situation it resulted in at least a 16-foot fall upon my concrete driveway, breaking both wrist and shattering my left kneecap into at least five pieces.
