Walmart Jack Stand Recall
In August 2020, Walmart recalled nearly 14,000 Hyper Tough® 2-Ton Jack Stands because they can collapse and cause severe injury or death. The recalled jack stands were sold at Walmart nationwide.
What is the Problem?
The recalled jack stands could potentially break under a lifted vehicle. They may not be able to support the rated load without collapsing.
A jack stand that breaks can suddenly drop and cause severe injury or death to anyone standing nearby or working under a lifted vehicle.
According to Walmart, “The product recently failed testing by an independent third party laboratory. The failure occurred in the ratcheting bar, which could result in the collapse of a vehicle being supported by the jack stand, potentially resulting in injury to persons near or under the lifted vehicle.”
Was My Walmart Jack Stand Recalled?
The Walmart Jack Stand Recall (PDF) involves Hyper Tough® 2-Ton Jack Stands (Model 2TJS and Part #0085001232400). The jack stands were produced between September 1, 2019 and October 31, 2019.
The model number 2TJS can be found on the product’s labeling above the barcode. The recall involves 13,956 jack stands that were sold in Walmart stores nationwide.
What Should I Do?
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jack stands and return it to Walmart for a full refund.
Walmart said it pulled the jack stands off store shelves on July 13, 2020, which was the same day that Walmart was notified that the product failed safety testing.
Walmart will notify owners of the recall, and provide a full refund. The recall is expected to begin August 14, 2020. Owners may contact Walmart at 1-800-925-6278.
