About 48 million feet of composite decks made by Louisiana-Pacific Corp. are being recalled because the decking can prematurely deteriorate and unexpectedly break.
Consumers can fall through broken decking, suffering serious injuries. The company has received 37 reports of composite decks breaking, resulting in 14 injuries, including a broken wrist, sprained ankle, minor lacerations and bruises. The recall involves outdoor deck board and railings sold under the brand names LP WeatherBest, ABTCo. and Veranda. Veranda decking products were made by multiple companies. Only products made by LP are included in the recall. The products were sold at The Home Depot (Veranda brand) and building product dealers (LP WeatherBest and ABTCo. brands) nationwide from January 2005 to August 2008. For more information, consumers can call 888-325-1184 or check online at DeckingNotice.com or U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Consumers with the recalled decking should immediately contact Louisiana-Pacific for a free inspection. If the decking is affected by premature deterioration, LP will arrange for a free replacement. |
