Earthquake proof!

We've hung practically EVERYTHING in our house with these guys about 6 years ago. Yesterday we had several earthquakes and nothing fell off our walls. Neighbors were sharing photos of broken picture frames and glass an all of our wall hangings didn't budge. Thanks Command!
We bought these about five months ago to hang three pictures that were less than 12 ounces. We hung these precisely according to the instructions. Three months later, one fell. Three weeks later, the second one fell. Last night, the third (and last) one fell and broke a glass figurine. On top of that, when we attempted to remove the tape from the wall, it took the paint off with it. The pictures were hung in a non-humid environment and according to the instructions.
Good idea, Poor execution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this for the fact that it is advertised to cleanly hang frames. When I went to remove it and followed the instructions to do so it ripped 2 baseball sized sections of paint off my wall. This will now cost me hundreds to fix. I have to hire someone to spackle and repaint it. NEVER USE

I have used this product at two different apartments. The first time I used it I had absolutely no issues with the pictures that were hung. The second time I used it I had to replace several of the strips after a couple of months. It is possible due to picture was hung in bathroom which steams up when shower used. I have not had to replace the strips a second time yet and it has been several months.
For years I have used the picutre hanging strips to put up picutres on my walls with no isssus. The last few months however I have noticed that the strips don't seem to be as sticky anymore and I have had items fall. Has the glue changed on the strips and that is the reason? Just yesterday I tried putting up a picture frame that is MUCH lighter than ones I have hung in the past but it fell within an hour. I even used 12 paris of strips to try and hold it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought these for my daughter's college dorm. She used 4 12# strips for a small 4-hook wood piece. She hung her size small Northface jacket and a lightweight jacket, totaling maybe 5#, if that of weight. So, we had 48# of strips & they couldn't hold 5#. It fell down. We paid a LOT for these things and now have to buy more again to try to hang up her hooks again. I may have to find something else to use that works. We also had a wooden shelf with glass bottles on it come CRASHING down (broke the shelf and bottles & woke up the other residents). We used 12 LARGE Command Strips for that! 192# of command strips for maybe 10# of weight. Didn't get pictures of that. It was a mess.
Normally, these work well for us. I don't know if we got a bad batch or what. They were put on correctly. This is the third year using these in a dorm.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried to get this to stick to the wall even weighed the item at 1/2 a lb. I do not want to waste anymore of my time calling you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear of the trouble! We would expect Command to bond to smooth sealed surfaces, that have been cleaned with rubbing alcohol. If you continue to have trouble, please connect with us at 1-800-934-7355 M-F 8am-5pm CT, so we may gather more details and help. Thank you!
Sounded too good to be true and it was! Followed instructions precisely and even measured the weight of the frame which was well under the limit. The glass picture frame fell off in the night and smashed. After ringing a local picture hanger, they told me that they get a lot of work from command picture strips failing.
