Ron, Sorry to hear about Mary. We were just lucky that I was the one on the steps when they broke and not DW or she could have ended up like your DW…
Remember our steps are not on the recall list. They are a different brand…
STEPS
Everyone else pay close attention to the pivot arm’s close to the main rivet we had ours break into about ¾ of an inch from the rivet and had to get a mobile welder come out to weld it back together.
Seven years with the old rig and had two of the rivet break and replaced with bolts but never had any of the base metal break/snap like this.
