Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Vista Railing Systems is recalling approximately 4,300 ProBuilt Aluminum Posts used in residential railing systems on porches, decks, and stairways. The aluminum posts can separate from their base plates, compromising the structural integrity of the railing. These posts were sold in various colors for about $35 at wholesale building distributors and lumberyards between January 2017 and June 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using the areas protected by these railings and contact Vista Railing Systems for a free repair kit consisting of replacement screws or gussets.

Risk

The post can break away from the base plate that anchors it to the deck or porch floor. If the post separates, the railing system may fail to provide support, creating a risk that a person could fall from an elevated surface.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the base plate of your aluminum railing posts for a 'PB' stamp surrounded by a square on the top of the plate to confirm they are ProBuilt brand.
  2. Verify if your post is affected by checking the packaging for the following item numbers: 42" End Post (PB7468WT0Y, PB7468BK0Y, PB7468XB0Y, PB7468YB0Y, PB7468SW0Y), 42" 90 Deg Corner (PB7469WT0Y, PB7469BK0Y, PB7469XB0Y, PB7469YB0Y, PB7469SW0Y), 42" 45 Deg Corner (PB7494WT0Y, PB7494BK0Y, PB7494XB0Y, PB7494YB0Y, PB7494SW0Y), 42" Mid Post (PB7470WT0Y, PB7470BK0Y, PB7470XB0Y, PB7470YB0Y, PB7470SW0Y), 42" 2.5" Blank Post (PB7759WT0Y, PB7759BK0Y, PB7759XB0Y, PB7759YB0Y, PB7759SW0Y), 36" End Post (PB6804WT0Y, PB6804BK0Y, PB6804XB0Y, PB6804YB0Y, PB6804SW0Y), 36" 90 Deg Corner (PB6805WT0Y, PB6805BK0Y, PB6805XB0Y, PB6805YB0Y, PB6805SW0Y), 36" 45 Deg Corner (PB6809WT0Y, PB6809BK0Y, PB6809XB0Y, PB6809YB0Y, PB6809SW0Y), 36" Mid Post (PB6806WT0Y, PB6806BK0Y, PB6806XB0Y, PB6806YB0Y, PB6806SW0Y), 36" 2.5" Blank Post (PB7758WT0Y, PB7758BK0Y, PB7758XB0Y, PB7758YB0Y, PB7758SW0Y), 42" Top Stair (PB7733WT0Y, PB7733BK0Y, PB7733XB0Y, PB7733YB0Y, PB7733SW0Y), Bottom Stair (PB7735WT0Y, PB7735BK0Y, PB7735XB0Y, PB7735YB0Y, PB7735SW0Y), and 36" Top Stair (PB7737WT0Y, PB7737BK0Y, PB7737XB0Y, PB7737YB0Y, PB7737SW0Y).
