i saw in my newsfeed somewhere that HF released a statement that they've had 11
minor injuries reported, with zero fatalities attributed to these jack stands.

https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...d-jack-stands/

notice that the statement specifies that because of those 11 injuries, HF has chosen to play it safe and recall ALL jack stands produced by a specific factory, despite the fact that only a small percentage actually have the problem.

and AvE did a quick video last night about this as well. as usual, i think he brought up some fair points, first of which is that HF, despite their cheapness has still chosen to recall these jacks--many other companies would call 11 injuries a low margin of error...
