No incident, no one hurt Made Mar 30, 2024, sent to the company Apr 5, 2024, published by CPSC Apr 19, 2024
The product, in the report: Red stool with hydraulic height adjustment on a black base with red wheels.
This report is for a rolling stool sold by Harbor Freight Tools. I was seated on the stool and it began to flex at the joint between the seat and the base in such a way that I was afraid I would injure myself because it was about to break. Upon closer examination I saw that the weld holding the seat to the seat post is beginning to crack.
