Three in one hybrid convertible hand truck purchased by caller somewhere between August 14th, and 19th, 2015. This hand truck is designed to be used upright, at 45 degrees and flat, however the caller was moving two five gallon bottles of water at a time which were about 45 lbs each sometime a few days after purchase using the hand truck and it collapsed multiple times. He removed one of the 45 lb water bottles and the product flipped to the upright position from the 45 degree position and he states that if he had been in the way he could have been very seriously injured. The caller is reporting that when this hand truck collapses there is a potential for limb loss due to the way the unit collapses. If the users hand or foot are in the way the limb could be injured or lost. There are no injuries being reported in this instance. The product was returned to the place of purchase on August 25th, 2015. The caller has not contacted the manufacturer and does not intend to contact them.

Was transporting 8 - 40 lb. bags of water softener salt, when I went down two stairs the wheel shattered. Fortunately, I wasn't hurt but could have been.

As I was using a hand dolly to move 2 bags of cow manure from the car to my back yard one of the wheels fell off the hub as I was going down 3 steps to get to my back yard. This dolly was purchased 2 years ago and has been hardly used. It is rated to handle up to 700 lb. My concern is with the safety of this item, someone could get hurt very badly moving a refrigerator down the stairs and same thing happening. This product is still sold by Harbor Freight Tools today. But when I contacted them they do not carry spare wheels. I was told by a welding professional that the weld that is suppose to hold the fire rim to the axle hub was not deleted properly. The weld only penetrated the hub and none on the rim.

Northern Tool product #188225 Plastic Mover's Dollly. Stated capacity of 1200#. While using it only the second time for an item weighing no more than 400# two of the wheels fractured. Not cracked but fractured in half causing the piece of furniture to tip and nearly fall over. If it had been 1200# I doubt I could have stopped it from falling on someone.

I was putting air into the tire on this unit. The tire suddenly blew off- like a cannon ball. I was not injured, but the flying tire was inches from my face. The tire rubber split and the tube was popped. The metal hub cap was damaged as the lug nuts pulled right thru the 4 holes. The hub cap went flying also.

This hand truck is a convertible cart which can be used 3 different ways. It was in the position where the back of the cart is at an angle. This is the assisted 4-wheel position. My child was moving it over when he lost his footing. He grabbed the cart from the front to catch himself, when it gave away folding shut. Both the ring and pinkie fingers on the left and right hand were trapped inside the sliding railing mechanisms. The latch had to be lifted to allow the cart to open so the hands could be pulled out. The fingers were all disfigured and bleeding. They were flattened so much I thought they had been sliced off. By the time we got to the Emergency Room, they had begun to plump back up and looked much better. The right hand was not injured as badly as the left hand. He had an appointment with the hand orthopedic specialist on 6-11-2018. At this appointment the Dr. told us he would have surgery to repair both the left ring and pinkie fingers. His surgery was on 6-12-2018. After he had the surgery and was getting better, I went to check out the hand cart to try and figure out what had happened. I was able to convert it between all the positions with no problem so I just assumed I didn’t have it latched properly when the injury happened. Then on 6-14-2018 I was moving a shipment of boxes I received from FedEx when it slammed shut again. Thankfully there were no injuries this time. I once again started to question myself, did I latch it? I thought I made sure it was latched. It was during this check that I found out the latch was in the correct position but was not fully securing the plastic hook part of the latch around the metal tubing that it’s suppose to secure to. I tried it several times and sometimes it worked and other times it didn’t. I found out that I had to force the latch down and then it stayed latched. The second latch seems to be working great, I’ve had no problems with it, only the latch for the 4-wheel assisted position.

In the month of April, 2017 I acquired a second hand aluminum hand truck, Costo Mod. 12-302 ABL 3in1 (multi position). One of the handles was broken so I contacted Costco by email 3 times to get the "handle" (safety bracket) replaced. They sent me the wrong handle 3 times, the upper one, when I insisted I needed the lower handle. The Lower handle supports 2 positions. Regular upright, where the hand truck is in an upright position as any other handtruck would be [handle carries 0 load]. Also, the lower handle can be unlocked and 2 extra wheels lower making the truck roll at an angle (leaning back) carrying the FULL load for the human [that part of the handle was operational]. This truck is labeled for 1000lbs upright and 800lbs leaning back on the extra 2 small wheels (4 wheels total). Since I was having hardships carrying a FULL load of sodas or plastic water cases where the load was being carried by my arms & back... the leaning position was the excellent solution for me. The lower broken handle was fully operational in that SINGLE position. I wrote Costco CS, and like I said, they sent me the wrong bracket 3 times despite my excellent communication capabilities. On 2017/05/24 (May 24th) the hollow plastic bracket broke off and the 5 cases of water, each 5.25 gal. were sent to the sidewalk together with me. I received 2 nasty gashes on my left leg and bruising. Another long bloody gash on my right leg that I saw the next day. I sent pictures to Costco CS and asked them to fedex me the correct handle or a truck capable to handle the weight they claim their hand truck could carry. I received an apology letter by email asking me for the date of purchase or my member number.They have not contacted me since. I feel that they have no regard for public safety or responsibility to acknowledge a safety problem. The all aluminum frame fully loaded cannot be supported at a crucial point by a hollow abs bracket that should hold the truck in a safe reliable way to avoid an
