I have a Federal Noark panel. I would like to add 2 circuits, but only

would like to put in a GFI circuit breaker for the kitchen and
bathroom.
I have been unable to find a Federal Pacific stab and lock tandem
breakers.
I have also read Federal Pacific panels are a fire risk. Is this true
and should I switch panels?
As SQLit said, put GFCI recepts in and forget about a GFCI breaker.
Are FPE Panels risky? You betchum! And this story goes way back to
the 60's.
