Plycem is recalling about 37,500 boards of Allura fiber cement decking and fascia because the materials can deteriorate and crack over time. This defect can cause the deck surface to break suddenly, posing a serious fall hazard to anyone walking on it. There have been three reports of the decking cracking, including one incident where an adult male's leg went through the broken boards, resulting in injury. The recalled products were sold between February 2014 and June 2017 at retailers like Home Depot and Kelseyville Lumber. Consumers should stop using their decks immediately and contact Plycem for a free repair.
The fiber cement material can weaken and crack under normal use, causing the decking to collapse when stepped on. This creates a risk of consumers falling through the deck boards and suffering serious impact or laceration injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using decks with the recalled decking materials and contact Plycem to schedule a free repair. Plycem is contacting all known purchasers directly.
