Thanks Joe.
Being paranoid, and since the source is not the CPSC, I looked at the CPSC
site and found the following recalls of apparently the same counterfeit
SquareD breakers:
5-2008
Specialty Lamp International of Deerfield Beach, Fla. (as above)
371,000 breakers
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml08/08286.html
12-2007
North American Breaker Co. Inc. (NABCO), of Burbank, Calif.
50,000 breakers

Connecticut Electric & Switch Mfg. Co. (Connecticut Electric), of
Puyallup, Wash

Bud, has there been any determination that these counterfeit, breakers are
not made to the same specs as any other QO?
