Hazard identified
ProBuilt Do-It-Yourself Aluminum Railings with ProBuilt 36” and 42” posts sold prior to December 2014 included post to deck lag screws in the packaging. These lag screws may not be suitable for all deck surfaces (including but not limited to such deck surfaces as concrete, plastic wood, aluminum and plexi-glass). Testing has not shown that the screws are effective on all surfaces and thus there is no confirmation of their safety on all surfaces.
This recall serves as an advisory for users to evaluate the lag screws compatibility with the decking surface. If unable to make a determination, contact BW Creative Railing Systems to find the ProBuilt Design Manual and detailed installation instructions or to contact a qualified professional for an assessment.
Neither Health Canada nor BW Creative Wood Industries Ltd. has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of this product.
