LP Decking Notice--Failure issues

17 years ago

I just discovered this after visiting the LP site.

If anyone has decking made by LP (Weatherbest, Veranda, ABTCo), there is a safety/failure notice.

From their website at http://www.deckingnotice.com/index.html

Potential Safety Hazard

LP Building Products (Louisiana-Pacific) has issued a Product Advisory for decking products, including railing and accessories, sold from its Meridian, Idaho plant after January 1, 2005

Some of the product can prematurely deteriorate and break, posing a risk of injury.

Deck owners should check decks for safety and arrange for an inspection. Homeowners are asked to stay off decks with deterioration.

Products Subject to Advisory

WeatherBest® decking and railing, sold nationwide at building products dealers after January 1, 2005

Veranda and ABTCo decking and railing, sold at The Home Depot after January 1, 2005 in the western U.S. - AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY, and TX (El Paso markets)

Weatherbest and Veranda products produced after November 2007 by the new owner are not included in the advisory.
