You're almost definitely wrong.

The recall from Harbor Freight makes it clear that there have been no documented cases of injury.

Harbor freight is recalling 1.7 million stands.

If 5% of 1.7 million failed, I'm pretty sure there would be >0 cases of documented injury.

5% failure would translate to 85,000 jacks collapsing.

85,000 collapsed jacks is a lot of collapsed jacks for there to be reportedly 0 documented cases of injury. At least that's what HF is claiming: 0 documented injuries.

I learned a long time ago not to believe everything I read. A safety recall and zero injuries, leaves me scratching my head. But hopefully there were no injuries.
