What’s the Problem?
On July 17, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of approximately 18,000 Traveller aluminum loading ramps sold by Tractor Supply Company due to a serious fall risk. The ramps—including 1,500 lb, 1,800 lb, and 3,000 lb rated models—can bend or break under specified loads, potentially causing severe injuries when loading equipment such as ATVs, lawnmowers, or golf carts.

Loading Ramps Lawsuit Statistics
- Recalled units: Approximately 18,000 ramps of three load capacities sold from October 2024 through July 2025.

Design Defect & Hazard Analysis
Testing and incident data suggests the recalled ramps fail to support their stated capacities, causing them to bend or collapse under typical use. This demonstrates a critical manufacturing or design flaw. The hazard supports legal claims under product liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty, and failure-to-warn doctrines.
Injuries & Side Effects
- Fall-related injuries: Fractures, sprains, knee and leg trauma.
- Joint damage: Knee and ankle injuries requiring surgery or long-term treatment.
