    Wow, thanks for the heads up!

    Could cause serious injury?  Yeah, or you know, death.  Not like anyone's ever been crushed by a car or truck before... Nice undersell there HF.

    I wonder how many of the other brand's stuff was made by the same manufacturer? Mine are all really old and one pair may be China made.

    I just checked the ones I have. They have a Sears tag on them, and the number is 60119. I got them years ago - from Sears....wonder if they will be having a recall?  Regardless, I have been using them for quite a number of years with no problems. Like Clint Eastwood said "A man's got to know his limitations".  Be careful when using those jack stands and know their limitations.

    Thanks Raymond, I have two sets...one HF and one Delco...that look like that.  I'll check the numbers in the AM.

    Re: Harbor Freight Recall

    Ya'll are very welcome, glad to get the word out! I have a pair of the 61197 and have been under my Lightning a LOT as of late getting it running. Very scary.

    Should this be made a sticky so more people see it?
