In this video we discuss Zinsco, Federal Pacific, Pushmatic, Wadsworth, and Challenger panels and how over they years they've been responsible for burning down buildings, causing fires, injuries, and deaths. All of these companies have been forced to shut down and many have faced extreme legal battles as up to 60% of their products were considered faulty.

A lot of this was due to very loose adherence to UL listings, or really just a lack of listings back then. In some cases, however, brands have completely lied about their standardization methods and testing processes.
