| Issue: | During the period April 2009 to May 2011, Handicare AB used a wing handle in which the screw and the handle, after repeated tightening, may slide apart. This causes a small play in the attachment of the ladder, which in turn results in high load at the attachment holes of the ladder. Eventually this may cause mechanical fatigue in the material of the ladder. |
