We recently received a flyer from an electrician. It says:

ELECTRICAL
PANEL SAFE?
A Potential
HAZARD
could exist at your home

AT RISK: Federal Pacific,
Zinsco, X.O Style Square D,
Pushmatic, Challenger,
Crouse Hinds, Sylvania

We have a Federal Pacific panel. My brother thinks this means our
panel is unsafe. I think this electrician is just trying to scare
up business. His list seems to be just about every brand of panel
ever made.

What do you think? Thank you in advance for all
replies.

That's one of many interesting sites found via a google search with the
words "recall federal pacific electrical". Do the same google search and
you'll find more info.
