Some of the product can prematurely deteriorate and break, posing a risk of injury to consumers, the company said.

The company has received a few claims that the products, used to build outdoor decks, deteriorated prematurely due to variations in the manufacturing processes in that time frame.

Decking products, including deck board and railings, sold under the names of LP WeatherBest, WeatherBest, ABTCo and Veranda are included in the advisory.

"We urge people who bought or installed these composite decking products after Jan. 1, 2005 to contact us for an inspection through our decking notice Web site or customer service line," said Rick Olszewski, the company executive vice president of specialty products and sales, in a statement.
