Additional information:
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) reports the following Vehicle Jacks are subject to this recall:

According to the ACCC, the recalled Vehicle Jacks do not comply with the labelling or instruction requirements in Australia’s mandatory standard for vehicle jacks, which is based on the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2693:2007. Specifically, the prescribed safety information and warnings were not included on either the packaging or the Jack itself.

Jacks that do not comply with the mandatory standard pose a crushing hazard. The operation of this device, therefore, may result in serious injury or death.

If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of the recalled Vehicle Jacks, please do not use them. Instead, kindly return the product to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.

If you have questions about this recall notification, please contact Racer Australia by phone on (03) 9330 2100 or by e-mail at sales@raceraust.com. You can organise the return of the Vehicle Jack and a full refund of the purchase price.
