Louisiana Pacific decking recall

Thursday, May 21, 2009 by Chris Fox
On May 13, 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of 48 million linear feet of composite lumber decking made by Louisiana Pacific Corporation (LP). The Veranda Composite Deckingrecall includes composite decking and railing made for the following brands: ABTCo, LP WeatherBest and Veranda.
 
The affected composite wood decking was sold under the Veranda name at The Home Depot stores only in the following Western states, from January 2005 to August 2008: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY, and TX (El Paso markets).
 
IMPORTANT
Today Veranda composite decking and railing is made by two manufacturers, Universal Forest Products and Fiber Composites.  The recall DOES NOT include products manufactured by either of these companies; it affects only product made by LP, delivered to stores in the states above, before August of 2008.
 
The composition, formulation and extrusion methods employed by the current Veranda suppliers are different from those that were used by LP, and don’t lead to the same quality issues that caused the recall.
 
For more information contact LP toll-free at (888) 325-1184, or visit their recall Web site at www.deckingnotice.com.

I just installed weather best chestnut decking on a client's deck not knowing about the recall until we discovered that they did not have enough to finish the project. What now ?Fiberon is a very poor match as are all the other composits available in our area. Please advise! ASAP. Frank Peters

Since our (Universal Forest Products) product IS NOT involved in the composite deck recall, I would recommend that you visit the deckingnotice.com website or call the LP customer support phone number at (888) 325-1184.
