I guess word has been out for a while now on these, but I just found out today. Tell everyone you know who might have a set of these before something bad happens.

4 of my 6 ton jack stands are product number 61197 and going back. I have never loaded mine anywhere close to half of their rated capacity, but I guess I'm still lucky they didn't kill me.
Canadians, keep an eye on your Princess Auto jack stands too. I have another 4 of their 6 ton versions and 2 of their 3 ton stands. They look like the exact same stands as the HF as I have had them side by side. Tried calling them tonight, but couldn't get through. I am sure there are other stores selling these same stands with their private labels on them.
