Harbor Freight gets million dollar fine
Fine My rule has been that anything more complex than a screwdriver or combo wrench is not safe to buy from HF. Their power tools are certainly junk.

Its Harbour freights fault for getting into a sales arena and not knowing all the rules and requirements. They crossed a line and unknowingly found themselves under the NHTSA jurisdiction. When they decided to sell trailers they needed to do their homework and know all the requirements to sell them on a nationwide scale.
Ignorance of the law is seldom a viable excuse.
They were not selling trailers. It was a light kit.
Either way they are selling an item that puts then under NHTSA jurisdiction. Being it was just a light kit it seems it would be easy enough to comply with the regulations and avoid the fine.
I can tell you as a business owner. Keeping up on ever changing government regulations and mandates is neither cheap or easy.
