Well, you most certainly did... but I've now since corrected it.

if that's how you interpret it, cool, to be honest, it doesn't bother me either way and if it bothers someone that much, I still don't care, at least they now know their HF jackstand may have an outstanding recall and needs to be thoroughly inspected.

Is Only One Sku? Most HF items sell under Two to Many Skus and owners have lost labels etc.

A company sending notice to some buyers but that often doesn't mean much. Many are bought as gifts or paid by cash, gift cards, etc. that doesn't have billing data. That's ignoring second hand markets.

If you worried about one HF Recall...
Go to https://www.cpsc.gov/
Search Harbor Freight
In drop down box select "Search Recalls: Harbor Freight" to find more recalls w/o CPSC news pages.

Did bother to see if above is listed but site says May Not show new recalls because of CCP virus problem.

https://www.harborfreight.c...product-support.html also doesn't list this recall at bottom of page.

The sad part about this is that Eastwood has 6 ton jackstands that are CHEAPER than Harbor Freight and I can almost guarantee better quality. People should take some more time and research their options before just assuming that Harbor Freight has the best prices.

if I were a betting man, I'd say that most jackstands are probably all made in the same factory, side by side. in reality, you should do an inspection on things like jackstands before, during, and after use regardless of brand.

There was nothing to "interpret". It was pretty clear what you posted, whether you meant it to mean what it did or not.

Besides, I thought what I wrote was funny. Sorry you didn't see it that way.
