Harbor Freight Tools is recalling Pittsburgh Automotive pneumatic roller seats because the connection between the seat and post can break, causing users to fall. The company has received 96 reports of seat welds breaking, including 10 reports of minor injuries.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source reports 10 minor injuries from users falling due to the broken seat connection, which qualifies as reported injury risk. Although the injuries are characterized as minor, the hazard—a structural failure leading to falls—poses a clear risk of harm and has resulted in actual reported injuries.
