Over One-Million Harbor Freight Jack Stands Recalled: May Disengage and Collapse Without Warning

The Defect

Ratchet teeth on the jack stand lifting extension may engage at an inconsistent depth. Any shift in weight once under load, may cause the jack stands, and any vehicle on them, to collapse suddenly, potentially injuring anyone under or near the lifted vehicle.

The Remedy

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled jack stands and contact Harbor Freight to receive a store credit.
