Bolts. Big issue, this one.

A construction worker building the first GM-Saturn plant went to tighten a bolt with a torque wrench, the bolt broke, the construction worker overbalanced and fell to his death.

The bolt turned out to be counterfeit; it was rated as being far stronger than it really was.
