Werner Ladder - Faulty Hinge on Ladder Broke
I was using the ladder to paint my bedroom & the ladder collapsed causing me to fall and a great deal of pain. They did several x-rays of my hip, cack and left knee. No fractures found but have had a great deal of pain with very limited mobility.
I was painting on my Werner Ladder with the paint tray out and it collapsed due to the hinge breaking. I fell onto my back and left leg.
Going to get xray today I hope. I was in such sever pain I could begin to get up for 10 minutes, but I was all tangled up in the ladder and couldn't get away from it. I still cannot bear weight on my left leg and my back and hip hurt also.
I read the products hinges were made with pot metal and there have been many consumer complaints about them breaking for no reason. I felt like there was no reason this should have happened either.
Reason of review: To be alive..

I went to eye doctir in June 2017 with sudden onset blurred vision. He asked if I had fallen or had an accident revently.
I said in January 2017 I hit my head on dresser & hurt my leg badly from ladder breaking. He said a piece of the tisdue inside the eye had been hanging attavhed & finally dislodged causing my center vision pronlems.
A "large floater". I still have it now & it's February 2018 no improvement with treatment.
