The Werner Multimax-Pro Recall: Is Your Ladder Dangerous?
On August 14, 2025, a significant recall was issued for Werner ladders sold at Home Depot stores nationwide between November 2021 and February 2024. Approximately 122,250 ladders are estimated to be affected by a defect that can cause the ladder to collapse or fail during use.
Recalled Werner Multimax-Pro Ladder Model Numbers:
- 20-foot Multimax-Pro Multi-Purpose Ladders
- 24-foot Multimax-Pro Multi-Purpose Ladders
When these ladders fail, the results are often devastating. From traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage to complex bone fractures, a fall from a 20-foot height is rarely minor. If you own one of these models, stop using it immediately. If you have already been injured, preserve the ladder as evidence and reach out to our legal team today to ensure your rights are protected.
Identification Features for Recalled Werner Models ALMP-20IAA & ALMP-24IAA:
Affected ladders include a silver frame, a blue top cap, and a blue side rail label displaying the brand name and model number. A key identifying feature of the recalled Multi-Max Pro series is the inclusion of a long black rope attached to the rear section of the unit.

Werner Multimax-Pro Ladder Recall: Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know if my Werner Ladder is Part of The 2025 Recall?
The recall applies to the Multimax-Pro Multi-Purpose ladders, including Model ALMP-20IAA (20-foot) and Model ALMP-24IAA (24-foot), that were sold at Home Depot between November 2021 and February 2024. For the most current information and any updates related to this recall, consumers should check the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
What Is The Specific Defect in the Werner Multimax-Pro Ladders?
The August 14, 2025, recall was issued because the side-rail locking mechanism can jam or fail to fully engage during adjustment. This defect creates a significant fall hazard, as the ladder may appear secure but can unexpectedly shift or collapse while a person is climbing.
Can I File a Lawsuit if I already Accepted a Refund from Werner?
Yes, accepting a manufacturer’s refund for the cost of the ladder does not waive your right to seek compensation for personal injuries. While a refund covers the product’s value, a personal injury claim through Sieben Alexander, P.A. seeks to recover “damages” like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
What Should I Do With the Ladder If I Was Injured in a Fall?
If you have been injured, it is critical that you preserve the ladder exactly as it is and do not return it to Home Depot or Werner for a refund. The ladder is the most important piece of physical evidence in a product liability case, and our legal team will need it inspected by engineering experts to prove the defect.
What Are The Most Common Injuries Associated With This Werner Ladder Recall?
The 122,250 recalled units have been linked to serious injuries including traumatic brain injuries, lacerations, and complex bone fractures to the wrists, legs, and ribs. Because these ladders reach heights of 20 to 24 feet, even a partial collapse often results in life-altering physical damage that requires extensive long-term medical care.
