“In May 2020, popular tool retailer Harbor Freight issued two recalls on the Pittsburgh 3- and 6-ton jack stands. More than 1.7 million units were pulled from shelves and warehouses, with Harbor Freight citing a "manufacturing defect." According to the recall, the defect was known to cause the jacks to collapse while engaged, putting users at severe risk of injury or even death. It was determined that the jack's ratchet teeth would not consistently engage the pawl at a depth that would prevent slippage.
The jacks—models 61197, 61196, and 56371—were originally manufactured by China's Jiaxing Golden Roc Tools Company and sold via Harbor Freight under the Pittsburg Automotive brand.”
