I wonder if HF are the only affected brand. Every auto parts store sells a made in China version of these (i have two different brands downstairs) and it's hard to believe they are all being made by different manufacturers.
Regarding replacement stands, I'm pretty happy with the Esco 10499 (a short version of the 10498 in the above link). It's one of the only of the only jack stands out there with a flat top
