Beware of the Killer Jack!

Just recently on thursday January, 14th, 2010 my mom was using a jack that we've had for about three to four years. Overnite the left back tire on my mom's pick up truck a 1988 Ford Ranger had gone flat down to the rim with some human help from my grandma's current renter. My mom had been given the day off from work. This is what happened, my mom had jacked up the truck with the jack. We had taken the tire completely off the truck. We took the tire down to my grandma's garage to air it up with the air compressor. We talked to my grandma for about an hour. The jack was under the axle of the truck the whole time holding it up in the air. We came back to the truck with the tire. We were having some difficulty lining up the bolts with the holes to put the tire back on and that's when it happened. The jack let go under the truck and my mom's right hand got hurt. I asked my mom after the jack fell, Are you all right? When my mom didn't answer me I looked down at her hands and I knew that she wasn't. My mom's thumb and pinkie finger were okay. Her index finger was knicked on the side. Her middle finger and her ring finger got sliced really deep. I went for the first aid kit that my mom keeps in the SUV. My mom went inside to clean her hands in the kitchen sink. When my mom's finger's still continued to bleed my mom told me she needed to go to urgent care. My mom wrapped her fingers with the gauze bandages and I cut it off the roll with scissors and tried to tape it with bandage tape. Then I had to see if urgent care was still open they were because it had happened about five o'clock at night. My mom then drove over to the restaurant about a mile from where we live and told my grandma who had went over there to eat that she had to go to urgent care because the jack had fallen and cut her fingers. After we arrived at urgent care I was surprised to see my grandma walk in and tell my mom: I should've made you park the SUV and I should've driven you here.It was about eight thirty when we left urgent care that night. My mom just has been allowed to go back to work. My mom told me that she had almost fainted from the pain in her hand when I had asked her if she was alright that night.The skin was almost peeled completely off of her two fingers. My mom had to have seven stitches in one finger and five in the other finger. My mom had managed to pull her left hand away from the tire without it getting hurt. I consider myself lucky, because just seconds before I had my hands on the tire. I think it could've been me. My mom's happy that the jack didn't let go back in October, when she had to change the tire on the SUV on the Interstate at about eleven o'clock at night when no one stopped to help her and cops kept driving by. My mom tells me she could just she herself laying there bleeding to death with no one there to help her. My grandma and some other people that she should take the jack back to Walmart and get her money back: or that she should sue them. I know that we've had the jack about three to four years at least. We've only used the jack about three to four times sincewe've had it. It is a GM GOODWRENCH jack and as soon as I get the box out of the shed I will give the model # and other identifying information and then I will post it..
