Supercheap Auto issues urgent recall for trolley jack on safety fears
The popular product used to prop up vehicles has been urgently recalled over fears it could cause fatalities.
Australia’s consumer watchdog has issued an urgent recall for a trolley jack sold at Supercheap Auto stores, warning the product could cause serious injury or death to customers.
The ACCC says the ToolPRO 1600kg Low Profile Hydraulic Trolley Jack poses a serious health hazard because “the front wheel axle, lifting arm pivot shaft, or cylinder pivot shaft may break during normal use”.
“This can also occur while the jack is not in use,” the regulator warns.
“There is a risk of serious injury or death if the jack fails causing a vehicle to collapse on a consumer.”
Only batches starting with the codes TH202311 are being recalled, the ACCC states.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the product and check the manufacturing batch of their jack.
“The manufacturing batch is marked on a white label placed near the instruction label,” the watchdog said.
“Consumers with recalled products should return the product to their nearest Supercheap Auto store for a replacement unit or refund.”
The product was sold nationally and online between January 9, 2024 and May 1, 2024.
