Summary
CPSC records recall 05247, published August 19, 2005. Recalling firm: Kadant Composites Inc., of Bedford, Mass.; Reported units: About 11,000 constructed decks.
What's the hazard
When the decking or railing material is exposed to hot temperatures and sunlight, it can prematurely degrade. The degraded material could break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
What to do
Consumers should check their GeoDeck™ decking materials for visible cracks on the surface and check to see if the surface can be easily scratched with a fingernail or the corner of a credit card. However, the firm is out of business and a remedy is no longer available, so consumers will need to arrange for repairs themselves.
