The consumer removed the jack with the plastic lift handles from the trunk of the car, while at a friend’s family member’s home. While in his arms, the jack’s handles came off in his hand and fell; it hit his 4th and 5th toe on his right foot. An associate was with him and suggested he go to the doctor. The consumer declined to see a doctor and he went home and soaked his foot in Epsom salt and stayed off his foot for a couple of days.
At this time, it is unknown how the handles were secured to the jack; they may have been welded, bolted or screwed onto the jack)
