if you use HF jackstands, they just issued a recall, it's worth checking.

Re: Check your jackstands!
it worth mentioning, that it's not a bad practice to inspect things like jackstands prior to working under a car no matter who made them. I also would not be surprised if the vast majority of jackstands available are made in the same factory right next to HF stands.The Dark Side of Will wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 6:09 pm LOL!

Just the six ton? I've got their three ton (I think) which seem to have a lot of complaint videos on Youtube.

as far as I looked into it, yes, just the 6 ton.
