Reasons the product is recalled

The product does not comply with the labelling requirements of mandatory standard AS/NZS 2640:1994 Portable ramps for vehicles.

The hazards to consumers

Misuse of the portable ramp may occur as a result of missing instructions for use and labelled markings. As the ramps are used for raising the front of a vehicle off the ground, there is potential for a crushing hazard if the ramp is misused while a person is underneath the vehicle. This may result in serious injury or death.
