imagine my surprise
the potential risk there is staggering

The recall document says that the problem could affect more than 450,000 6-ton jack stands produced between 2013 and 2019 and nearly 1.3 million 3-ton jack stands produced between 2012 and 2020. These jack stands were sold under the Pittsburg brand name, and can be identified by item numbers 56371 or 61196 on 3-ton models, and 61197 on 6-ton models.

I'll risk a busted knuckle or skinned elbow with that junk where I only need a temp use or throw-away tool, but....
for safety related items, I've posted this sentiment multiple times for this very reason..

cross pins are much more secure than ratchet pawl type, especially for rigorous work on the vehicle..
wider stance stands are much more stable for long term work..
they're also available in various heights for taller working positions..
you can stagger you lifting heights from front to rear to work your way up to taller heights if all you have is a floor jack..
keep adding wood blocks to the jack as you incrementally raise the stands or even switch to taller stands if necessary..
good tools like these will last a lifetime.. buy once, cry once 
good luck!
