First aid Made Jul 20, 2018, sent to the company Jul 27, 2018, published by CPSC Aug 17, 2018
The product, in the report: ACDelco 3 Ton Jack Stands Purchased at Oriley Part # 34124
Jack stand locking mechanism failed. The release lever is supposed to require significant force to move while under tension. The release on TWO of these jack stands can become disengaged by lightly touching it.
The release lever was touched with similar force to tapping someone on the shoulder to get their attention. This caused the extension bar to slip off the lock and fall. Luckily I had the car supported with redundant stands so I was not seriously injured.
After this I compared and tested the stands my applying force to the saddle with my hand and gently touching the release mechanism. On my “good” set of stands from a different manufacture, the release lever would not move, even when significant force was applied. On the bad set of stands I barely touched the lever and the locking mechanism gave out so abruptly that I damaged my finger from the extension falling on it.
I removed the extension bar from the base of the stand and inspected it. It appeared the teeth on the extension bar were poorly manufactured and could easily slip off the lock.

The product, in the report: ACDelco - 2-ton Hydraulic Trolley Jack Part # 34136
I was using an ACDelco Hydraulic 2-ton Trolley Jack (model 34136) this weekend to check my brakes and rotors. I would jack up one side of my car, put a jackstand underneath the vehicle, then lower the jack and move to the other side of the vehicle and repeat -- would have the front end of the vehicle on jackstands, take care of the brakes and rotors, then lower the vehicle and do the rear brakes and rotors.
The jack worked fine on the front of the car. I jacked up the rear of the vehicle and was moving to put the jackstand in place when the jack failed. The car dropped, but I had the jackstand in place...but it missed my fingers by about 2 seconds, and if it had failed 15 seconds earlier the jackstand would not have been fully in position, and would have probably gone flying and/or damaged the vehicle. The gas tank of my vehicle is less than 6 inches from the jack point...you get the picture
