Thanks for the heads up Eric. I have two HF jack stands in my barn. I'll check the item numbers on them. I just use them for my tractors but if they are included in the recall, i'll take them back to the store.

Do you know of any jack stands completely made in America?

I had a customer call me one day when I was working at Napa. “ I need a pair of jack stands. Mine don’t work anymore “

From the article:

 

The defect is attributed to aging tooling at the factory that produced the jack stands.

 

Yikes!

Thanks for the "Heads Up".  Had two of them.

Both under the rear end of the 416-8 that I have been working on

I have a bunch of HF jackstands, but they are over 20 years old, so I guess they are fine!!
