Little Giant Ladder Recall: Where to Look for the Orange QC Sticker
Before putting up lights or clearing a gutter, look at the side rail. On listed Little Giant ladders, a small sticker above a Rapid Lock helps determine whether the November recall applies.
The November 5, 2026 recall covers about 3.66 million Little Giant ladders. If the height-adjustment locks fail to engage fully, the ladder can retract under a person standing on it. Keep a potentially affected ladder on the ground while you identify it.
Read the model name, then look above the lock
Find the name printed on the side of the ladder. The affected models are Adjustable Fortress 2.0, Conquest 2.0, Dark Horse 2.0, Epic, King Kombo XT, Leveler, MegaLite, MegaLite+, Multi, Quantum and Vector. Their Rapid Locks fit into the rungs to set the height.
The lock itself can be black or orange. The marking that matters is a separate orange rectangular QC sticker on the rail above one of the locks. The recall covers listed ladders that lack that sticker. If the marking is worn or hard to identify, leave the ladder down and check with Little Giant.
Get the kit before the next job
Stop using a recalled ladder and consult Little Giant’s recall instructions. Request the warning-label and instruction kit from the company at 866-201-9069 or through its recall page. Follow its directions for checking engagement before use and lubricating the locks.
If a lock still malfunctions after the instructed maintenance, contact the company for evaluation. If the problem persists after evaluation, Little Giant offers a replacement or a refund based on purchase date. If you lent the ladder to someone, send them the notice before they set it up.
