Overhead Garage Storage Racks Recalled for Impact Injury Hazard

SafeRacks/Monsterrax overhead garage storage racks may collapse from the ceiling due to defective hex bolts, posing an impact injury hazard. About 12,800 units sold online from September through December 2021.

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: One injury has been reported (bruising and lacerations to the face), and the product poses a risk of impact injury from ceiling collapse. Although there is reported injury, it is a single non-hospitalized case, placing this at High rather than Severe.
